How do you program frequencies into your rigs?

I was asked the other day, if there was any good Open Source software for programing radios. The case in point was asking specifically about the IC-2820 with D-Star. I was pointed at a piece of software called CHIRP which runs on Windows and Linux. I have written a review of it and it should appear shortly.

But it got me wondering. Is there any good Open Source (and especially Linux-based) software out there for programming your rig? I have a mish-mash of hardware from a variety of players and I would like to have a piece of code that I can upload my template(s) into and then push down into the various radios. I would be happy with one for each vendor, or one for each type (like HT/Mobile/Base).

So is there a solution? Let me know how you do it.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
