The OS Discussion Thread.

[Triv1um]

Ive made this, to keep the discussions about the best OS out of other peoples threads, so you can keep it all in this one.

Discuss all things to do with Operation Systems.

So, the big question.

Linux or Windows or even OSX?

Whats your views? Advantages? Disadvantages? How compatiable is WINE now? Is it worth the hassle of a dual boot?

---

I personally think is great with a dual boot, but I still use Windows for other things. Ubuntu is my chosen linux distro, and im dual booting with Vista. (bah!!!)

I am not a up-to-date user of WINE, so im not sure on the compatabilty of it. I am using Photoshop 7 with it, but ive heard CS2/3 might work now?

Anyway, discuss.

im a CS2 an3 user so i stick with windows... plus i use other programs

PSO can't run on Wine so in other words, Linux sucks and Windows owns.

(and I just named only one game!)

[Triv1um]

Well why not dual boot JKK?

What else do you have against linux?

[acn010]

im not against any os but im used to windows

I have Windows XP on a 300GB drive, Kubuntu Linux on a 500GB one with secure LVM partitions (is it LVM?). So I can pick and choose which drive to boot from when I turn on my computer.

Appropriate thread,thank you.

I started using Linux/GNU because of my constant windows probs and it's free.

I currently dualboot mac OSX and ubuntu on one lappy and on the other I have slackware(it has lower specs than my
macbook).
Honestly I'm kind worried apple is gonna become the next microsoft though.Even if they've been around a long time,that itunes and DRM crap sux.

acn010:
Ubuntu is really easy to use and has GREAT community forums!

Shrygue, Logical Volue Manager. It's what allows the Linux kernel to manage the various types of volumes and their respected filesystems within a particular system.

Okay, that's good. I just wonder how one would change the password after setting it.

Here's something I've been trying to do for a while now and can't seem to make it go right. My current installation of Kubuntu 7.10 uses kernel 2.6.22-14 and I wanted to add version 2.6.7 or 2.6.8.1 and I keep getting compilation errors. I have looked at tutorials on how to make a Debian package for them and I still keep failing, particually on the part where you need to setup the .config file. Just wanted to do it for a test drive, see what it's like and maybe make ndiswrapper 1.52 install as I'm on 1.43. No problem with the current version of the Windows wifi driver module but I'd still like to upgrade it anyway.

Why are you wanting to use an older kernel? 1.52 of ndiswrapper should work on kubuntu, no problem.
