Ric,
I wouldn't recommend using the CHIRP v0.4.0 or v0.4.1 stable with Baofeng radios because of recent changes to the firmware. You are probably OK with an original UV-82, but if you should need to program a UV82C, BF-F8HP or one of the new UV-5R (including the many variants) you are urged to use CHIRP daily-20140717 or later/newer.

Well, I'm new to Ham Radio and programming, but I got the latest build (0.4.1) to run on my Raspberry Pi.
The instructions for running under Linux call for installing "python-gtk", which the Raspian OS could not find. So I tried "python-gtk2" which it did find and install and everything seems to work. At least for my Baofeng UV82.
I have an iPad and am really trying to avoid buying another laptop for traveling. This solves that problem. I carry my iPad and a Raspberry Pi and do all I need.
Thanks for CHIRP. Ric Honey KK4SZO
