I'm running jmri in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as well as Dreamlinux 3.5 using a 1.2MHz AMD on my N-O&NW...It's running a Wangrow System One DCC system and it functions just fine.
It's not a hard job to install it all, but not a good way to learn about installing Linux programs...things can and sometimes do go wrong.
Good luck with it; I'm sure you'll like it once you try it.

There's no place like ~/ ;)
Thanks I'll check it out.
JMRI http://jmri.sourceforge.net/ will run on a Linux machine (or any machine running Java for that matter). I've only used the Windows version, but it is powerful and packs a lot of features.

I have several machines at home, I run Linux on two of them exclusively, no reason to run wine, I don't dual boot. I also have a few windows machines.
I'm just trying to do some initial homework as to what kind of DCC layout software is out there that's all, curious what others use.
There is no best, only what might be best for you.
You might have to run Windows in Linux using Wine I think. I have heard of people running Windows like that but definitely Off Topic. Try a Forum for your OS. One must exist.
I run Mint 7 Gnome but have not touched Windows for over six years.
I see in a couple Linux forums people running Windows in a Linux environment.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
Hi,
What would you folks consider to be the best software to run on Linux to control a DCC layout? I run Centos 5.4 on one of my machines - same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
I have an area in the basement of about a 270 square feet of L shaped area to work with at present - 24' x 13.5', with the stairwell.
