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

"This is your office app for letters and spreadsheets, this is
your web/file browser, this is your e-mail. Need anything else?"

"No, that looks easy enough."

You can even make it look and feel like "Windows" if they are hesitant to
use something that seems unfamiliar.

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.
