[Cialug] mythbusters says to use linux, not vista

[Carl Olsen]

My Linux computers are far more reliable and faster than my Windows
computers.  I don't think its possible for Microsoft to compete with that.
On the other hand, I can't run all my software on Linux.  I haven't broken
down and bought a Mac yet, but I probably will one of these days.
