What's your favourite OS
« on: November 09, 2004, 05:40:26 pm »
What is your favourit Operating System? Mine, personally, is any of the GNU/Linux variants, with Mac OS X at a (very) close second..
What about everyone else? What\'s your preferred OS?

I liked mandrake linux, but have to stick with XP cause of not many games are on linux... once this game gets further down the line, and since it has a linux client... i may go back over... windows just sucks

While I use windows XP on a daily basis, my personal preference is Mac.\'s OS\"X\" mainly because it looks great is UNIX based and can actualy be hacked (loosly used) to work on Intel/AMD procesors. I also learned to use computers on a Mac. so I am partial.

Well, don\'t laugh but my fav. os is \"Windows Server 2003 - Enterprise Edition\". It\'s very stable, works very good with internet/networks and it\'s also great with games :)
 As for the open source part, Debian rocks :D

*shoots all Mac lovers*

*ahem*

I really want to like Linux, but I\'d have to learn it first, and I\'ve not been up to that these days, so I\'m going to have to say... DOS!!! :P Windows XP actually.

My brother is running Win 2k3 Server as well... it seems to run very well, especially after the settings are tweaked.

Which version? ;)

Anyway, my favorite windows operating system so far that I\'ve used is Windows 2000 Server/Pro, primarily due to the speed and stability.  Starting to foget what a BSOD looks like :P
One of these days I\'ll have to set up a dual boot and try out a linux distro seriously.  Set up a few, but never seriously looked into what it could do.

I prefer Richard Stallmans usage of the words \'free software\' over the newer \'open source\'.. but thats another subject..
And i think just because windows exists, it has become the most popular target for viruses/hacks/etc... think about it, whens the last time you heard about a virus hitting a unix server? usually its just a macro or something designed to infect your \'address book\' and send copies of itself via messages through Outlook to everyone.. and do the same on their computer...
Anywho.. im going with Stallmans idea of getting rid of all proprietary software, but not to the extreme as he has.. not yet anyway, i just cant afford to get rid of some things yet.. give it several months, then we\'ll see..
If anyone is interested in the link to Richard Stallmans site, unless you already know it, pm me.. i dont think im allowed posting other sites on these boards..^^

 Isn\'t Win Server 2k3 an improved version of Win 2k? :P

Mac System 7.0 (or maybe 6.0.8) where there was a message in the \"System\" file saying \"help, help, we\'re being held prisoner in a system software factory\"  and something about ordering Pizza.  

Everything was a lot more simple back then, which was nice.  Now I use OS X, and enjoy it greatly.  Win XP & 2K aren\'t too bad, but certainly not my platform of choice.

I agree with \"not windows\"
Although this box is running XP. It\'s my brother\'s and he has a lot of XP reliant games.
Every time I get a BSOD, I want to burn his computer. He knows nothing about compatability or anything, he has all these conflicts and just leaves them... I\'m not allowed to alter stuff.

I really want to learn Linux though. When I get my own I will probably dual it, so I can have games.
How do you decide which Linux is best suited?
