I've yet to get op25 to run. 

That said, if you are really starting from zero on Linux, you might want to try:

I've been running suse then opensuse since the 90's, so I'm just too stuck in my groove. ‎ 

Starting from scratch on Linux, there are the Debian derivatives, or Debian itself. Then there are the rpm based Linux like Red Hat, Fedora, Opensuse. 

If your computer uses UFEI, you may want to verify Linux will load or see if you can disable UFEI. 

Opensuse will dual boot nicely. You can send me email directly on how to set it up, but like I said, I've yet to get op25 working.

Hello all. I am new on this list as of Thursday, so hopefully I'm not
asking something that has been covered a bunch of times. I did try a
search first on the web page.

Anyway, I'm interested in finding how to use OP25 to listen to our new
county P25 phase 2 simulcast system. I've listened to the system with a
scanner and the results were pretty dismal. Some have told me that OP25
puts the scanners to shame.

I understand that OP25 works on Linux, but not sure of system
requirements. I believe I read that a Raspberry Pi3 won't cut it. While
I use a Linux machine for AllStar, I don't really know much about the
operating system (someone provided me with an image on a disk that
self-loaded).

So, please keep it simple.

Chuck
