Do you *NIX?

[sugaratias]

Does anyone else except me (and soon to be MissyZ but don't tell her!) use Linux or any other NIX?

 

If not, you should really look into it. Its a great operating system, and best of all, - its free!

 

[Mr_Happy]

i do

 

or @ least i used to - kinda messed up teh boot menu and now i can only boot win2000, win95 and MS-DOS

 

i'll have to get round to reparing linux and beos cuz @ the mo its just wasted partitions hdd space

[Shenlong]

nope, cos i would probably kill my computer if i tried!

[Mr_Happy]

the more i use linux the more i'm glad most ppl dont use it - way to complex 4 more home users

 

i tryed installing a DVD player (4get the name of it, but this was a while ago as it was the 1st prog that could read copywrited DVDs) and after 3 hours gave up

 

plus linux its not really worth using linux if u dont program cuz the whole open source side to it becomes irrivant and thats the best bit of linux

 

basically if ur a novice but want stability and a server style OS 4 free ur better off with a cracked copy of win2k

I've gone through several years of a love hate relationship with Linux and FreeBSD. I keep walking away, but god.. I love that bitch.

 

RedHat 8.0 really does wipe the floor though. Too hard for novice users? RH8 is far easier than Windows ever is.

 

It just works. Everything I've plugged into it just works straight off... zip disks, usb mice, - even graphics tablets.

 

If u want to try Linux again download an ISO of red hat 8 - its the dogs!

 

http://art.gnome.org - check the screenshot on the right ;-)

 

[Mr_Happy]

i have 1 of the l8est versions of mandrake (which is a supedup version of red hat i do believe)

 

my problem is i dont have standard hardware and i have cirtain software that needs to be run (sum of which i've hard to manually program 4 windows)

 

took me a while to get my graphics card to work let alone nething more complex

[sugaratias]

i thought the new mandrake was nasty and went straight back to redhat.

 

:-)

 

[Mr_Happy]

theres no such thing as a naste distro of linux really cuz u can select the packages u want installed and not installed plus u can always install packages that dont come with the ISO to meet ur requirements

 

i likes mandrake cuz it came with everything so i could just select what i didn't want

[Scream]

yep i trained in LInux and UNIX. I'm gonna install Mandrake or RedHat or [censored] it both, when i get round to it, lol. I prefer them for security reasons and well i'm a network boff so you gotta love them!!

 

Nothing like Linux or UNIX. It's the programmers operating system after all.

[Shenlong]

well i still prefer windows, the operating system for computer retards!

[Scream]

yeah for retards created by retards!!

 

LOL

[Sweet]

humm so i can barely use whats in my windows what does that make me??? lol

[Scream]

the reason i'm in a love hate relationship with windows is because it has come a defacto standard, but it tries to do everything for you, and for me that fuckin annoys the hell out of me.

[Sweet]

oh so u insist on doin things the hard way

lol

[Shenlong]

yep, he's a silly boy is scream
