I was just wondering what kind of OS you people use. Mine are MacOS X.1.5, MacOS 9.2.2, and Windows 98.  I usually use MacOS X.  |

Anyhow, don't feel too bad, only a full time geek knows this stuff, and there wasn't that many poll options anyway. |

| Yes, those that use it have told me that Windows 2000 is the best so far. |

I currently have Windows 98... I tried to upgrade to 2000 once, and it totally screwed up my computer, and I couldn't listen to music or go online or anything cause the drivers weren't right. I ended up having to reformat the whole thing to get it working again.
I have heard that (once it is working properly) 2000 is pretty good, but you can't play a bunch of games on it. Most people I know prefer XP. |

There are only four options. Maybe I should have made the WIN98 to 2000 though. I just posted the popular OSs. And Dr.Blackgaard, you forgot WIN ME in your list. |

And then there is OS/2, and a whole list of other mostly obscure OSs...
Dr Blackgaard: Lindows is ok, but to be honest, it is only a pre release of Xandros (formerly Corel) with Macromedia's(?) (proprietary) version of Wine.... The only real thing I can tell they did for Lindows is that software warehouse and one click install (can you say .RPM?). But even the Software warehouse is a rip off, because a little investigation reveals all the software they offer is freely available on the net....
I know, it is an OS, and you were listing what you know.....
Samwise, check www.distrowatch.com for (nearly) every major distro of Linux/BSD known to man kind..... (a good 60 there) |
