I run win2k and Linux.... on my server

I have heard Linux is great because you don't have "big brother" manipulating your system.....but you need to be pretty computer literate in order to put it together (which I couldn't be if I tried).


-- Posted by vitamin at 3:27 am on June 2, 2003

Actually you dont need to be 2 literate you need to understand some basic concepts but other than that u are fine...

linux is good but a lot of stuff is incompatible with it, so... win xp for my home/gaming comp.

but on my webserver, linux is the way to go


-- Posted by vitamin at 5:24 pm on June 11, 2003

Do u find win xp home unstable...


-- Posted by babyitzallgood72005 at 1:33 pm on June 12, 2003

windows xp


-- Posted by Katrina at 6:17 am on June 13, 2003

How could it be unstable? it's basically Windows XP Pro with a few removed features. Win2k is better though, I never liked that dog thing when I was searching for a file!


-- Posted by penguincube at 10:51 pm on June 16, 2003

I use winxp as well.  It works fine for me pretty much.


-- Posted by EvilOnesDetour at 2:28 pm on July 3, 2003

I run Win Xp HE also but I don't find it unstable.  Actually I like it.  But...we skipped a few versions.  We went form Win 95 right to XP HE so...LOL

I think MACs are kinda cool.  They have better componnts and programs for media and photos.

Windows XP Pro.... tee-hee :D

A few ppl have said that it can be unstable...

I wonder why I put the Windows 3.1 option in my poll. I doubt anyone ever uses that anymore.


-- Posted by climber783 at 10:53 am on July 23, 2003

i use a windows 95 and a windows 98 computer at home. at school, they have macs. i cant stand them. the word processer is a pain. and earlier this month i had to do stuff on a windows 3.1 machine. god that thing is ancient


-- Posted by speedy66 at 9:21 pm on July 23, 2003

Windows 98 here...yeah its old  :p


-- Posted by BlackMage3 at 2:27 pm on July 27, 2003

I use Windows XP on this box, and i've got a couple of Red Hat boxes set up as web/file servers. I've used Gentoo Linux in the past, but it wasn't too good. I'm assuming the newer builds now are better and more stable.

I'd use Linux on my main machine, but regular usage programs, like messengers and things don't tend to be as functional on linux.

w00t, 2k here (man theres lots of OS polls)


-- Posted by smiley at 4:11 pm on Sep. 17, 2003

Wtf? I like how you list all the Windows systems and yet just group "linux" into one.

That's like me writing:
What car do you drive?

-Volkswagen Golf
-Volkswagen Jetta
-Volkswagen Passat
-Honda

You make fun, but you use Windows ME...are you mental?
Though I do commend you on your second choice of OS's, Windows 2k Pro is the best Windows OS to date. All the reliability of XP Pro with none of the bullshit.

Tell me the other Linuxes and I'll put them on the poll.

There's +100 distros of Linux. It would be better off putting them in sections (http://www.distrowatch.com). eg.
RedHat Based
Debian Based
Slackware Based
Source Code Based
LFS Based.

That would probably cover the most for so little amount.

Hi AndreBSD,

I was just wondering if you could e-mail me a copy of Windows 1 to 3, windows longhorn or maybe an web address as to where I can get them?
My e-mail address is: insane9999@hotmail.com

Thanks
