Operating System choices

[mdh]

So it seems like a lot of Ron Paul fans are geeks. Here's the official stats poll!

I use GNU/Linux. Either Ubuntu or Arch. I frequently switch between the two.

Cool to see some Slackware folks. I use Slack a lot. ronpaul.name = Slackware. Totally.

WinXP Pro - on the PC*. I had to go back to being dumb.

Windows Mobile 5 - on the HTC Apache 6700 (err..my phone)

Ubuntu 32bit - old laptop that won't turn on anymore. Worked great once I got the ndis wrapper to properly handle the wireless card.


*Used to run Ubuntu x64 for a bit on the PC, but that was a massive headache trying to get NTFS support on x64 w/ a SATA RAID. Effectively, of 90gig internal storage, I could only really access 10gig.

note: I did manage to pull off NTFS read-only support for the SATA raid, but the write support for 64bit systems using a SATA Raid were non-existent at the time.

I've also attempted Debian (back in they day), Mandrake, when it was new, and RH, off and on.

[Original_Intent]

XP Pro on this box, XP 64-bit on my next one. *(which I have had to delay for 6 months due to RP contributions! Best money I have ever spent)

 

[CurtisLow]

windows vista ultimate. I wish they would have fixed it before the release.

Driver crunch.... They still don't have it right. But I must say It's very impressive!
I own a top end gaming rig. self built. I have about 4K into it. Technology is fast to change.

Mac OS X

 

[jmarinara]

Windows XP, either pro or home is fine.

Vista is awful. I'm thinking of switching one of my puters to Linux, but haven't worked out compatability yet. I may just buy a mac book. Being a musician, they have lots of cool stuff that is unbeilievably useful.

I used to hate ACI until I bought an iPod. Go figure.

 

[NoxTwilight]

Kubuntu & XP Dual

and the ONLY reason I still am stuck on Windows is Adobe products and Quickbooks - ok and Dreamweaver too. I admit I have yet to find another program that can beat it.

Yes Yes I know I can use Gimp but I have a great deal of styles, filters etc. that Gimp could never replace. Any one try Inkscape? It's a terrific program and works on Windows too. If you like graphics give it a try.

Love ubuntu, third I have tried. Recommend it to beginners as its ready to go at boot especially if you aren't doing a dual boot.

Yeah i'm a geek-chick
