[23:07:38] *chan* bill-kd5tfd: absa freekin lutely it is needed ... if you
want to experiment the scientifc and engineering code is all on linux .. if
you want to build embedded systems/real time u want linux .... and don't bet
all will be well with windows vista .. some ugly talk on sound card
processing ... 
The other reason for doing Linux is Freedom ... if you're on windows you're
beholden

plop down $500 for a 3 board stack from some guy in tx ... 20 bux from some
guy in indiana is a bit easier
