Something worth trying, even though I haven't had the chance:

Using the Raspberry Pi and GPredict software to track Funcube-1 (or many other) satellites

start up a terminal window (LX Terminal). Then type
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gpredict


The Pi will then download and install the GPredict software for you and return to the commaind
prompt 
once it has finished.

To start the software up, from your terminal window, simply type: gpredict
OR: main menu >> Run >> Type gpredict
The software will then start. You need to do a little configuration to tell the program where
you are 
(the default is Copenhagen where the author lives!).

Happy tracking!
