What OS do you use?

Hey, I was just wondering what Operating Systems do you guys use?
Are you a slave of Microsofts Windows Monopoly, or are you someone who goes for an Apple or one of the Linux distributions.

On my Home-Computer, I use SUSE 9.3 Proffesional and on the Laptop, Windows 2000.

I have to say, Linux is much better than Windows, but it has some very big disadvantages.

 

I'm a slave

 

I also use windows even that i know that linux is better. But if i had money i would buy me a G5 .

winXP pro, server2000 and server2003. I have no hang-ups or problems MS. I could care less there marketing practices or company size. Specializing in development for windows networks, having standardized workstations is nice, especially for the corporate market.

 

Windows XP pro SP2, IMHO the best windows ever to date, but still would love to try lindows or some other linux OS, but compatibility is holding me back.

 

XP Pro on all my computers. I'm a M$ slave, and love windows.

 

XP Pro here too....

 

Oh no - I am XP Pro too. But I use Firefox to disguise the fact I am a slave...

iMac iz kool!!!!

 

Windoze XP SP2, have to use it for work and for my wifes sake.

 

I changed from DOS and OS/2 to Linux around december 1995, been using it ever since, both at home and professionally.

I had previously been playing a bit with a slackware release that I and a friend collaborated to download with our 14.4 modems, but as a christmas present for myself I ordered the "InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource 5-CD Set November 1995" which contained:

- Slackware 3.0 ELF release (kernel 1.2.13 and 1.3.20)
- Red Hat 2.1 ELF release (kernel 1.2.13)
- Debian 1.0 ELF release (kernel 1.2.13)
- Kernels up to 1.2.13 and 1.3.42 (devel release)
- XFree 3.1.2
- tsx and sunsite-mirrors from 18. November
- commercial demos, including dBMan, GP Modula-2 and Pathfinder
- complete online docs from the Linux documentation project
- all HOWTOs

Incidentially the Debian release in this CD-set is the reason that there has never been a Debian 1.0 release, what was on this was a pre-1.0 release wrongly labeled as 1.0, it was only partially ELF (linux used to use the aout binary format) and pretty broken, so Debians first 1.x release was labeled 1.1

 

Because of my next job I'm going to be making the move to Mac - I'm actually looking quite forward to it.

My GF has a mac and I use that sometimes... So long as I get my 2 buttoned mouse, I'm fine

 

Apple rules the world

 

Mac OS since '92;
Currently 10.4.

 

That was the biggest load of bollocks I have ever read.

 

Windows XP and Windows 2000 Server (in VMWare).

I've tried various flavors of Linux - Redhat 6, Redhat 7, Fedora Core 1, Ubuntu Hoary - and hated every one of them because I spent more time fixing trivial things than getting work done. I do like PHP on Apache, as long as somebody else takes care of the sysadmin work

 

2 x XP notebooks
1 x NT notebook
1 x Windows 2000 pro desktops
2 x XP desktops
1 x Suse desktop

so yeah call me a slave. If I was running a server I'd opt out of microsoft, I however do not have any option for net connections where I live to beable to run a server 'other than internal network' so I don't even bother

 

Last time I touched a mac was when I was in school, and I must admit even back then they were laid out better, ran better, etc than moder pc's of todays age. Maybe it's time I get a mac as well and see what all the hype is.

 

xp sp2... To be honest i dont mind. Its just i got used to XP now, thats why i use it.
