Operating System choices

XP laptop. Working computers are all Macs, though.

Can I have your number?

lol maybe :o

 

[inibo]

Slackware on my file server. Duel boot XP/Ubuntu on my desktop. Duel boot XP/Slackware on my laptop. If I could find a newreader that was functionally equivalent to XNews I'd dump XP in a heartbeat.

GNU/Linux. Gentoo on the desktop, Kubuntu on the laptop, and on the occasion when I just need a no-frills server for an application for a customer, CentOS.

I've tried most of them for fun plus 3 or 4 not so pleasant experiences with Vista and other 64-bit flavors, so my primary system is back to Windows XP Pro 32-bit.

 

[jorger]

ubuntu and w2k.

dreamweaver = w2k for me.

have it running in ubuntu but it is not perfect yet...

 

[Keith]

Ubuntu

 

[Stockli]

Mostly Windows XP, although I was using Ubuntu and Slackware on a dual boot for months. Now I'm mainly using XP, with the Slackware 12.0 partition in dual boot.

Linux just doesn't do it for me yet, I try it for a couple months every several years to see how far it's come. I'm very impressed with how the OS and the distros have evolved, but I think mainstream linux use for myself is still a few years off.

My first Linux was Slackware. I now use PCLinuxOS, it is more user friendly. I have my wife and Mom using it too.
p.s. It's from Texas too.

Thanks for mentioning Source Mage! I hadn't heard of it before; it looks really interesting. Gentoo with ./configure options, basically?

Eh... we do similar things for somewhat different reasons. This is a huge FAQ for us, though, so here: http://wiki.sourcemage.org/FAQ/Gentoo/Philosophical

computer games are so fun! They are amazing!

i haven't played since doom 3

Doom 3 runs fine in Linux although I haven't started it up in about a year now.

 

[DAZ]

Mac OSX

Just got a Macbook a week or two ago. I've always had PCs up to now.

None of the above.

Windows Server 2003
It's GREAT for a workstation, fast for games (faster than xp)

and, you can get it for FREE from microsoft for 6 months, then reinstall lol.

Yes they actually did a pretty good job with memory management - we were shocked.

Personally I am drooling over my new install of Kubuntu Fiesty

 

[Brandybuck]

Stuck with Linux at work, but I use the FreeBSD at home. I haven't booted into Windows in six months. I think I'll reclaim that partitiion.

[Locke_rpr]

Currently Ubuntu 7.10 Alpha 3 Build with no problems that aren't related to my having an ATI video card which is sort of a pain with Linux. But I'm happy to say I've been 100% Microsoft free for a few months now and loving it. Wine *.40 (don't remember the first number offhand) rather than the newest build lets me play my games no problem. Next video card I get will be Nvidea then I'll be one happy camper.
