What OS/distribution you are using?
« on: July 31, 2005, 03:20:41 pm »
I would like to know what operating system/distribution you are using?
It only applies to Linux/UNIX users. You may post and specify also version,
especially for systems that has major incompabilities between major versions
like FBSD 4.x and 5.x. If you are using multiple ones, vote for this one you use
most offten or you like most. :)

Gentoo!  Not only the best distro, but the distro with the coolest name, IMO.
Yliakum, a really big crystal. These are the voyages of the Explorers Guild.  Its ongoing mission: to explore strange new maps, to seek out new life and new NPCs.  To boldly glitch where no one has glitched before.

Mandriva 2005 Limited Edition - Have likewise had no probs. installing/running PS (aside from the graphical updater).

Wasn\'t going to post hardware but since lanser did what the hey:

Processor:  AMD Athlon XP 2900 running @ 2GHz
MB: Chaintech 7NJL6 w/ nForce 2 Ultra Chipset
Video: Nvidia GEForce2 MX 400 (Older card cannibalized from previous system)
Memory: Ultra 512 MB PC3200 DDR x2 for 1GB RAM (Running Dual-Channel, why I bother on a 32-bit processor escapes me....)
Two Older IBM Hard Drives (Primary DJNA-371350) - 12 GB

Oh Yeah--I\'m Running KDE 3.3. for my window-manager.

Off Topic BTW--Thanks for all your hard work Platyna! :)

IMPORTANT: @Platyna: I just translated your polls and your post on the official ps french forum.

People will vote and the first lines of every posts should be understandable by a non english speaker.

I hope it will help you.

PS : I vote twice (once on the english forum and once on the french forum.

Thanks fken, honestly I would prefer if you would just translate my text and
direct the people to this poll, so I could have everything at once, also if you
would be so kind and point to them architecture poll, it would be great.

I use Ubuntu, it\'s pretty cool. I used SUSE before but mehh didn\'t like it as much as Ubuntu.
