Rep Power: 3 | Didn't we already have a thread like this? O well...I guess it didn't have Vista beta.
I am not going to vote since I can only vote once.
I use:
Windows XP SP1 (easier for registry work imo)
Windows XP SP2
Windows Vista Beta - I liked it. AERO is sweet. Kinda slow with ony 756 RAM but should run good on my new comp that I am getting. Mic isn't working though.
Ubuntu Linux- not really using it, just have it if people have problems on here so I can walk them through the specific process .
Fedora Core 3 - Use mostly along with XP SP1.
Fedora Core 5 - Just got it installed about a month ago and like it. Going to delete FC3 in a lil' while.
I know it's alot of OS's. Most are on partitioned drives. The SP2 is my sister's and mom's comps. I use FC and XP the most. There's just so much more you can do with Linux.

Rep Power: 3 | You're still using 98se? What for?
Linux is a fun operating system to learn IMO. It has a lot of features that you aren't exposed to in a Windows environment.

Rep Power: 3 | Im all XP and Vista, which is coming out quite nicely, basically, all microsoft, im totally anti-macintosh. I know that people, millions of them, use macintosh every day, and love it, but being a windows user all my life, i cant take the mac interface, i seriously cant work on one.
Linux, being open source, is pretty awesome, and ive only used it once. From that one experience, i considered partitioning my drive for both windows and linux.

Rep Power: 0 | I'm using XP Home at the moment, and I also think that 98SE is a great operating system.
I'm hopefully getting an iMac by the end of the year though | |

| You dont need a program except linux, you just partition your drive, or if you have two drives..i think you get it. Its just a matter of setting up the boot menu correctly.

Rep Power: 0 | The operating system I am using is currently Windows XP and I think that is the most commonly used OS. I have never used or saw a computer with linux or unix OS on it. Although I haven't used either OS, I have heard of it's advantages and disadvantages. I remember someone told me one time that either it was UNIX or Linux are immune to many viruses or is just Windows based viruses? For Christmas, I asked my cousin to purchase me one since he works at Fry's Eletronics. If anyone here is a Linux or Unix guru, please inform me with the details. For I am unfortunately, a Linux and Unix newbie. | |

Rep Power: 3 | UNIX based stuff is less prone to any type of virus, especially many of Windows viruses. Linux is UNIX based, just has a gui interface and other bells and whistles that vary with different flavors of Linux. You friend doesn't need to purchase linux at all. Thats the beauty of it, it's FREE(free as in open source). You just download a version that you think you might like, and put it on a blank harddrive or just partition your existing HD, and put it in a new partition. There are already a few posts on how to go about this. If you need more help, just let me know

Rep Power: 2 | I use Windows XP, but that is probably because microsoft developed it. I figured that if one of the richest companies in the world decides to create something that makes the majority of their income, they are going to make something decent.
There are occasional problems, but nothing that can't be fixed.
I don't think I'll get Vista for a while though. Just in case some bugs need to be fixed. | |
