I have heard stories like that, but will bigger boats, stupidity knows
no size, nor respects any budget: http://tinyurl.com/ak236

Being a cluster guy, I would have (will have) fault tolerant systems.

BSD(Free, Net, Open, same difference) would be my choice fer stability.

Windows(gotta make money somehow)

Gentoo has always been my preferred OS fer footwear

For hardware I would prefer a mix of Pixie Stix and Chunky Peanut Butter

Serioulsy though, gadgets are nice, but you should always have nav charts,
compass, astrolabe, starcharts, and a good navigator just in case, cuz
as we all know: computers suck and will  break eventually :-)
