Phillipe,
Good suggestion.
The GNU project is the actual basis of Linux. Linus Torvald wrote a
Unix like kernel, but the utilities provided by GNU provided everything
else to make a working OS. The interest this generated then provided
the huge informal infrastructure of volunteer labor to develop and
test reliable software.
Any distribution of Open Source software (Linux is the most common)
is a worthwhile alternative to Windows. The more recent Linuxes support
quite a lot of imaging hardware.
Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand have moved most of our real time
test equipment to Linux years ago.
