Linux- not just for geeks anymore. Mepis distro, even computer illiterates
can use it.

Given that this is about a contest about building a radio, in a newsgroup
devoted to the building of radios, I would expect a higher level of interest
in Linux.

But that said, at this point one could even distribute any needed software
along with an existing distribution. Put it on a Live distribution,
and people treat the whole thing like an application.
