What OS do you prefer?

You can try browsing to see if they have it listed, or use the search box on the left. Another option is to run a virtual machine in your computer for those few windows applications you need to run.

It's on the to-do list

Lots of possibilities:
- WINE (if supported)
- Virtual machine.
- Dual-boot.
- Spare machine.
- Asking the vendor for a Linux port.

 

It boots very fast since it's very basic (alpha stage). Don't try in VB, i had problems with networking, and upon search, found out that the people from that project don't like it and don't support it. Best bet is in VMware.

On topic, Debian for me, then Ubuntu perhaps.
Fedora looks interesting with the latest release, security wise (among other things), since it now has a GUI to configure SELinux.

 

Nice, thanks for the info

 

I'm glad advanced Linux users are sticking with PCLOS. Otherwise there'd be no help for newer Linux users like myself. So yes PCLOS is the easiest. But still very 1337.

 

Any favorable opinions on Open SuSe10? I got it on the ready for my very first install with it and from what i seen on a mock install it really looks good, but it has to perform as well.

Any thoughts? Experiences? I'm still slave to Windows.

 

It is great. I have it inside a virtual machine and everything is easy to use and customizable. If you need some help just ask me .

 

Yes I too, it did not work in VB.

 

My fav OS is windows server 2003. I apply the xp conversion tool and i'm all good to go. From my experience its performance is better than xp.

 

I like / love them all

I think XP is slightly better than Vista only because I have not got used to Vista yet, I was taught on XP and 98. Linux is becoming a fast favourite too, although I cannot run my Knoppix CD, I think I messed up the download. My favourite is Linux distro is Ubuntu. Not had a go with a Mac yet but soon I hope!

No I don't have a life just computers! My first was a ZX Spectrum eons ago

 

I voted Linux but in actual fact I use Mac OS X (Design + fun) and Windows XP (work) as well but Ubuntu is my favorite.

 

Linux for administration.

Vista for home.

 

Vista x64 most of the time--handwriting via a Wacom tablet is just too useful for someone
who writes equations a lot. I now have the easy entry of equations and diagrams I've always
wanted. Yay. Of course, nobody, myself included, can read my handwriting...but that's
another issue. Also, Vista is really stable on my system (better than XP Pro) and I seem to be
one of the few not to turn off UAC. I find it puzzling so many hate UAC (I find it slightly less
bother than either 'su' or 'sudo' in UNIX).

Other than Vista:
OpenBSD with fluxbox or ratpoison for a window manager when I (seldom) go into X.
Linux: Mostly Slackware. I've used Gentoo, SUSE, Linux from Scratch, RedHat, ...
But I find the user interface of most X Windows programs to be 'unfinished'.
Really good user interface programming is not easy or fun so nobody wants to do it for
free (and I don't either).
Solaris: Took it off for Vista.

 

windows xp

 

Linux for me but I use XP for games.

 

XP - Same as Vista but faster and more stable hint hint

 

Windows XP

 

vista for me and experimenting with linux now and different distro's. imo i have yet to see or have a single issue with vista not sure what all the fuss is about. once you tweak vista some and get rid of most of the junk with v-lite its as good as any xp imo

 

Where is the "Other" option ?

Have a nice day!

Free DOS (LMAO)

rrrh1 (arch1)

 

I prefer OS/2, eCS. I also use *NIX and Windows XP

Edit: Polls should have an Other category!

 

XP,more stable!

 

I like working with them all them. Windows Home Server has been a nice new experience.

 

my favourite would be openvms or as/400. runner-up is gentoo linux. (very specifically gentoo, i really can't stand ubuntu or any other debian derived )

at the end of the day, i'm stuck with a boatload of win xp clients and server 2003


opensuse is quite nice, if you disregard the default problems when it comes to updating your system (never works out of the box) and playing potentially bad things like mp3's and wmv's.. then all is good.
