[LAU] is there a sonor for linux project ? and..

[Karen Lewellen]

Thanks for all this!
I have no distribution as of yet, or not fully.  Just the plan to use Debian 
squeeze because I have the pieces for that one.
I hope via this users group to get the Linux help locally I have required 
for  a good five years at least.
Will be using ssh TELNET into the he box from my main computer so I  have 
speech that will not make me ill.
The Sonar reference was from someone on the lug talk list.
Does not matter, as you have presented what I desire using since I know they 
are all command line tools.
Will keep this email to share and again appreciate our wisdom!
