OS you are using?

mp3guy

What Operating systems are you using, and what do you use most frequently?

Goodshape

Kubuntu Linux.

Snowbat

You should probably rename Unix to Linux there, and change BSD to BSD/Unix since these are quite closely related.

Where is Atari Jaguar?

Oriel

Atari Jaguar should die.

I'm using Ubunutu & XP-SP2-PRO all powered by a hampster & a wheel


Edit*
Mp3Guy, maybe you should have listed the various types of OS's instead of the Software companies names? That way you'd get a wider scope of who is using what brand of OS...

XP Pro SP1/SP2
XP Home SP1/SP2
Win2K
2003Server
NT
ME
98Se
98
95 (erm!)

Mac OSX
Tiger

Mandrake
Suse
Debian
Fedora
Red Had
Ubuntu

Solaris

I'm running Windows XP SP2 Pro on the pc at home and Win 2000 on the pc at work. I just picked up a new imac the weekend and I'm getting to grips with OSX and i must say it is must better all round to windows but I miss a lot of the windows only software.
I have always being interest in Linux but never got the chance to set it up. I know OSX is based on the Linux platform but is any of the Linux OS as well developed and user friendly as i wouldn't mind giving it a blast also. Is there any programs that stand out for video editing and dvd creation, similar to adobe prem/virtualdub on the pc and final cut on the mac.

XP SP2 on everything except PC at parents(which I get to fix) which is running 98!!!!

Tried Linux on a system but couldnt get drivers working on monitor!!

I'm using Ubuntu Linux but didn't vote as Linux is not an option in the poll

Kintarō Hattori

Win XP Pro SP2 at home at the moment. Never had any major cause for complain with XP.
Anyone recommend a good version of Linux? I'd like to get into it and dick around with it, just nice to have an alternative to Windows.

Oh and it has to be relatively easy to use, I just don't have the time to patience at the moment to do aload of troubleshooting and configuring.

Happy as a pig in Linux.

RE*AC*TOR

windows2000/ubunutu-linux dual boot in work, windowsxp at home.

the poll options are just silly.
1. Linux isn't unix - so there's no real linux option.
2. MacOS is fairly much BSD - so that's two options for BSD.

I voted for Unix, BSD and MacOS because they are all pretty much the same thing.

would everyone stop with the damn technicallities? Its a general thing, not like OMFG wh4+ k3rn31 r u us1ng!!!!!111ONE

Where's the technicality. The second most common named so far is Linux and it's not an option:

Unix != Linux :rolleyes:

As for me - XP/Ubuntu Linux at home and XP/VMS in work.

Hi eo980, it would seem that Ubuntu is the most popular linux os on this thread any thus far. I've been using it myself for the past 3 weeks and its fantastic, its got everything you need - Office Apps - Messanger - Digital Studio Apps. You can't go wrong with it. Its got a nice clean GUI to it also with a top down navigation and runs very smoothly. You dont need to be a techy or know any programming to run it as an ordinary OS! It comes highly recommended.

Another popular linux OS used quite a lot for desktop use is Suse, i installed it once but i had a problem with my monitor and graphics card driver
It looks good thou!

If anyone here without broadband wants a copy I got a 10 cds posted to me from them. I still have a couple left that I could send to anyone who wants it and can't dload it. PM me if you want me to send you one.

I primarily use Mac OS X (10.3.9, I forget what animal it is)

I also keep a PC running Windows XP Service Pack 2.

How long did it take them to send you out the cd's?
I ordered them about 2weeks ago and i haven't heard anything since!

All the same its cool that they send out the OS on CD(s) for free! It must cost them loads on post & packaging and then the general cost of the distrubution of the cd's. Long live Open-Source!

Orion

About 2 months I think They send them out in batches. Postage costs shag all for businesses and they have a corporate sponsor picking up the tab. CD's cost next to nothing when you're dealing in that kind of volume. I bought 100 cds today for 20c each - they'd pay prolly 2c.
