What do you prefer: Windows or Linux?

a good example that linux is the best, NASA uses linux! FlightLinux to be exact
QUOTE
Developer:  NASA Advanced Information System Technology

Categories:  Embedded

Description:  FlightLinux is a concept that uses a real-time variation of the open source Linux Operating System for onboard spacecraft use. The open source Linux concept, with a modified real-time, embeddable kernel, will address the unique problems of spacecraft onboardcomputers better.


would NASA trust microsoft to make a good OS... I THINK NOT!

I run XP with no probs, but I like the response, performance, and software availible for Linux. I find myself looking for Windows ports of that software all the time, wishing I could get away with pure linux. LOL. I recommend Linux unless your a multimedia nut, cause Microsoft has a monopoly on Audio/Video compression on the web. (WMA/WMV)

He is asking what to use,not wad u all are running.Linux is a little more powerful and has a GUI,X Windows.It's not exactly safe,but because most virus attacks are targeted at Windows,Linux is seen as safe.There are not much programs for linux....But on the plus side,you can run something like Windows for free!Use Centos with it's built in X Windows system...But u wouldn't be able to run most windows programs


you can always use OpenBSD i believe... supposedly it's very secure. i wouldn't know.

I`m using XP, and Mandrake. In my opinion Linux is great operating system, but, is complicated for a normal user. I have learned it for 3 years now wink.gif

  4. Best Anti-spyware For Windows Xp
    (1)
    I've read back a few posts with interest and have noted most of the discussion on security is
    about anti-virus software. However although I have had problems with viruses in the past most
    problems on my computer (and many others, I suspect) are now caused by spyware that are not detected
    by anti-virus progs. I'm currently using an older version of windows but will soon be getting a
    new computer with windows xp. I've been experimenting on my current computer with a number of
    trial anti-spyware packages (there seem to be very many of them). These include: spy....

  13. Linux on Ipod ?
    (2)
    Overview Unfortunately, Apple considers the iPod a "closed platform", so technical info is
    basically non-existant. This project has involved a fair amount of guesswork, reverse-engineering
    and experimentation, resulting in a Linux kernel based on the uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) port
    running on the iPod. We hope that this port of Linux to the iPod inspires others to see what their
    "closed platform" hardware can do! Due to the highly collaborative nature of this project, we
    decided to use a WIKI for our documentation. Its goal is to provide a strong structure of....
