Wish list? and or help

Fedora Amateur Radio SIG, I am attempting to get N3FJP's Field Day logging program up and running in Fedora 19. My goal is to have all the field day laptops (9 + 1 centeral) on a mesh network running the logging software; preferably not on a windows based OS (too many not needed things to turn off). Just a single purpose machine. I am brand new to Fedora, so I am still reading up on it. Help / direction / or wish list appreciated. Peter M. DeBay KE7VSR 775-225-1653
