| | I don't get why people are all over Microsoft and the Windows OS's... I personally think the windows is the best OS, just because it's reliable. Linux is Open-Source, sure! But how reliable is that!! I would prefer to buy and expensive program over something that isn't garanteed to be safe to use.
I use Win XP Home Ed. With Avant Web Browser... I like windows a lot more than any other OS. Not to mention, have you ever really seen ANY software for sell that says "Linux" on the OS requirements? No! It is almost all made for Windows...

Currently I have Windows XP and on the the other side I have Windows 98. I use to have Server 2k but somehow it messed up my computer and it kept showing this dumping memory to disk. So i got tired and installed Windows Xp again. So far its working fine.

Main OS Linux - Linux gentoo - kernel 2.6.8 - Xorg 2.8.1 - Fluxbox - Firefox 1.0pre - Thunderbird - A few fps like rtcw, et and quake - Software like gimp, Openoffice and Maya - ect.... Game OS WinXP - WinXP sp2 - Some not in linux working games like worms and Evil Genuis I guess 98% of the time I sit behind my computer is in linux

QUOTE(gotenx @ Oct 16 2004, 05:14 PM) I also use Mandrake 9.1 and it doesn't run any software... It's so sad...  What software are you trying to use? Please tell me that you dont try to install any .exe files since that will not work  May I suggest URPM and RPMDRAKE (graphical) if you have problems installing software you can find a nice manual over here and if you need help setting up URPM you can find a nice config maker here. Hope this is helping you..

Be sure to try out WINE, it might let you run a few the windows programs/games that you need. Its a bit confusing to set up, but after that everything is automatic.

for emulating windows software...use CrossOver....or wineX4 (so called ´cedega´)... and as for unable-to-decide-whitch-os-to-use users.... think what you use computer for: if windows does the thing...go on, stay on windows....but if you need more stable os, to use it for developing or like....i highly recomend LinuxOS

The Operating System's Security
(5) When it comes to security, which operating system would you think a business would get to keep
everything safe. I know when i get my web design and hosting business going later in my life I will
choose Unix OS. Any busisness or hosting company will choose Unix to base my security on. Most
"Windows Users" will want to use Windows Server. I mean thats an ok OS to start out on but Unix is
basically free and open source and has a better security than Windows does. When i get my own hosing
server set up i will use Unix to base it.....
Rate An Operating System!
I need this info for my comic strip. (0) I have a very irregular comic strip that I make, and I want my next strip to be in the spirit of
XKCD's comic "f--- grapefruit", and rate operating systems instead. I'm running a poll
here, based on whether people think an operating system is better than Windows 2000 or not, which
I'm going to use as a benchmark (sea-level point) for rating systems. The rating system is on 3
axes, "usefulness", "reliability", and "security". Basically, for the poll, check which ones you
think are more useful than Windows 2000 on the first poll, which ones are more reliable ....
Operating Sys Deleting
HD deletes operating sys (9) Help! has anyone ever heard of a hard drive deleting a Operating system? I have a old HP that I
had been playing with, trying to fix it up for a friend young son to mess around with. It had no
Operating system in it to start with. I had a old hard drive laying around that had windows 98 in
it which was perfect for the old HP due to memory and being just a 286. Well, I removed the old HD
and put in the one with the 98. Booted up great. even got on the net with it for a bit, then I had
to run out for a bit so I shut it down. When I got back, I turned it back on to in....
Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
linux operating system (47) About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

advanced than Windows XP, so i got on the phone with the tech and asked if it would be possible to

Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
(34) Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
Linux and take Windows anyday. ....

Indian Operating System
i just find... (1) I think Linux sweeping the world was a bit of a premature prediction (what everyone in relatively
intellectual circles was saying in the late 90's and very early 2000's). Microsoft with a
true oligopoly that has crushed the chances of any third party OS, like BeOS, one of the most
promising OSes of the 90's IMHO. Linux and Unix really need a serious internal structural revamp
(like the NT system does of course), perhaps even a change to a server based OS; I guess that would
sort of be a total rewrite of all the code though Copied from "Olorix" on http://fo....

more! I wrote highest, because Freedows is not so free, as it looks... There is a free ve....
