The Foundation License is designed to be easy to obtain and would be a 
perfect entry into Amateur radio for anyone interested. If you've looked 
into it before, the morse code requirement has been long dropped.

IRLP (http://www.irlp.net) is a ham VoIP system (radio <> Internet) that 
runs on Linux.
