Since the mass majority of OS users are Windows users (90+% of all OS users) I am surprized to see some macs, although from chatrooms I found some of you are mac users. Of course I am Windows XP, and while G5 Mac users might want to dual boot a Windows platform I have no plans or want to dual boot into a Mac OS.
I just tried out ubuntu,and I don't like it very much.Got kinda used to the command line and ubuntu doesn't boot to command line as default.Not to mention having to sudo for all root tasks.I would rather just login as root.Still haven't found any distro I like better than slackware:)
windows xp.
ah come on... you can modify it to your likeing. I like the slackware community the best of all. Cool people. Ive read a number of things in this thread that are either wrong or misunderstood.. so I shall bring them up to better your knowledge.Quote:

Yes, not many game companies produce for linux (although many companies innitially work in linux or unix and later port to windows for the final release). But games arnt everything. much of the software we use for work has either been ported, or recreated in linux. There is in fact software that some people perfer over the windows originals.
Also note that wine and cedega, while no where near perfect, can do a pretty dandy job on some of your favorite games.
Here are a couple of "fully" supported games for cedega

and yes, cedega can be compiled for free via cvs, but its a pain in the ass. Ive done it myself. take the time and learn.
I use Ubuntu.
skye wins.
I <3 wine when i am using various forms of linux on my craptastic PC. (that is when I am not using one of my macs).
im using WinXP HE
and let me say the mac os is a rip off gone wrong. we've got those crappy things all thru out our skool and the mouse is one button and see thru. you got this weird icon pop up. u can barely copy paste right. it just feels wrong.
such a shame…Quote:

On my other computers here, I have Mac OS X 10.4.3 (I haven't used that one in a while), and Debian GNU/Linux 3.1.
You ignore the fact however, that MANY (I'd actually go as far as to say MOST) features in Windows have been ripped off of MacOS and Mac OS X. Remember, the first Macintosh came out in 1984, long before Windows 3.0 (the first real functional version of Windows that even slightly resembles what Windows is today).Quote:
