I imagine any CS dept (and maybe other technical departments) will support Linux.
Outside of that, its probably potluck between Windows and OS X.

If your computer runs out of memory, take a snapshot
of its state and continue on a computer with more memory.
Keep this up on newer generations of computers -- pass
it off to your ancestors -- continue until the sun turns
into a red giant if need be. Hopefully we will have developed
quantum computer which can hold more memory than there
are particles in the universe. Keep it going. Will it ever halt?
