Which operating systems have you worked with?

nice one lol

i've never worked with anything. i used some of the old spectrums, macs (i remember playing around with the spray paint thing) and the vic20, C64, BBC acorn and an amstrad. then stopped using computers until xp, then i stopped using that and now just run stable and secure os's like linux and i've just started using freebsd which is really, really good i really like it

 

Honestly, I've worked on Windows 98 and Windows XP only.
First computer- Windows 98
Second computer- Windows XP
That's all. I used a Mac in my school before, ugh that was a terrible experience, too used to working with Windows.

Not funny. When I got my first computer I knew nuts about computers, my parents too. My parents bought the computer even though all of us were computer illiterate. That first computer was a vicious struggle for us, spyware and other forms of malware bogged it down like hell. Can't be helped, no one in my family knew anything about all those stuff at that time. The day my cousin taught me about spyware was the day my true computing adventure started. From then on, I was determined to take charge of my computing life once and for all. All it took was a simple internet search and I landed in this forum. I don't have any formal education in computers, what I know is simply self-learned.

This forum saved my life.

 

remembering a few more...
Home we also had a TI99 4/A with extended BASIC - 64k, still got it somewhere,
also used a Spectrum ZX81, turned it into a robot with the help of Lego, and a BBC model B/Master.
Work TI, IBM, UNIX.

Tried Knoppix, didn't want to work though. might try it again though.

 

whoo: thats a LOT of gathered expertise
I in awe of you all.
Home & work: self employed, self taught enduser.

Last code I wrote was Fortran on punch cards : when I started engineering.
Do loops still make me shiver.
Went in different direction after that.

Commodore with cassettes: and dot matrix printers, god knows where that box is now.

Mac Classic: loved it: so intuitive, then everything fell in heap and had to go to PCs Win 3/DOS, LOL
Still Have a 386 laptop on the shelf here somewhere.
Since then W95 > 98 > XP

Looking to a Linux future: trying Ubuntu first. (Disciple of MrK)

 

The Amiga is dead. Long live the Amiga!

 

a few of these OSs Ive needed to look up
maybe we should start a list of OSs that havent been mentioned

didnt see anyone say IRIX
(at one point came damn close to getting an Octane)

 

In the past :
1. DOS
2. Windows 95
3. Windows 2000 Pro SP4

Nowadays :
4. Windows XP Pro SP2

In the future :
5. WinVISTA
6. WinLINUX

I always buy a new OS, when I buy a new computer.

 

Hmmm...

I've used DOS (not sure what version), Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, OpenSUSE 10.2 and Fedora Core 6.

I once tried working with a Sinclair and a Joyce computer, but I didn't understand it at all. I was too young anyway, I don't think I even knew the alphabet back then.

I'm currently running Windows XP, but I plan to install Fedora Core 6 on my other drive.

 

win 3.1
win 95
win 98
and now win xp.

 

TI99 4A, MSDOS (various versions), DRDOS, Windows 3.1, OS/2 (various versions), Windows NT/2000/XP, Knoppix, Suse Linux (various versions), Ubuntu Linux (Dapper, Edgy).
In the future: Vista? Probably not. - Ubuntu (with XP running in VMWare Server): definitely!
