S02E02 - Operating systems fun

Wayne's been on operating systems try-out overload with his swanky new old laptop and we get a run-down of his successes and failures so far, from the unfathomable Plan 9 to the latest Windows 10. We panic but then calm down over the announced end of Crunchbang and discuss the BBC's Domesday Project, the new Raspberry Pi, arcade games, fishcakes and assorted other stuff. Enjoy!
