I've managed to scrounge an old desktop computer for my PIC work, and can
now let my wife use the laptop.  This will work a lot better, except that
the old desktop that I was given only has Windows 95 on it, and it is pretty
messed up.  So I want to install Linux and learn to do all my PIC work with
it.  I've ordered some installation CD's with Fedora Core 4 and that should
be here in a couple of days.

The question is what do I need to install under Linux for the PIC support?
I have a Wisp628 programmer, and know (or am pretty sure) that xwisp2 is
supported under Linux, so guess I will need to install xwisp2.  How about
the assembler and simulator?  I am slowly going through  the WinPicProg
tutorials, which use the 16F628.  All the code is absolute.  So guess I do
not need a linker.

If someone could just point me to a starting place for what to install with
regard to an assembler and simulator I can probably take it from there (I
hope).   It is not that I cannot find plenty of material about Linux and
PIC's -- it it just that I am not yet knowledgeable enough to know what to
install and what to ignore.  :-)

Thanks,
Bill
