Talking MythBusters support Linux


In a recent issue of Popular Mechanics, the main MythBuster Jamie Hyneman waxed eloquent about troublesome and downright irritating technology. He briefly recommend against Windows Vista and instead suggested Ubuntu. My opinion of him just went up another notch. Now if we could only find a way for them to disprove a myth with Linux/Windows that includes a large explosion.

Every single time you saw a PC on mythbusters it was running windows. Maybe this will change with the next season...

And his opinion matters, why? Surely there are more ringing endorsements than Jamie.
