   [Linux is one of the more voracious OSs out there, handling
probably about 8 filesystems out of the standard distribution, and you
can download extra support for a whole lot more. Also supports drivers
for all sorts of oddball cards, thanks to its policy of assuming that
some users have a CLUE, and can program for the benefit of
everyone. It and other free programs that come with source are really
the new hacker spirit.]
