AverageJoe Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Does any one use a unix operating system? I have linux on one of my computers. I only have windows on the other because my favorite games are only compatible with it. I can't wait until opengl gets a better hold than directx. Just wondering what other people are using, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I use distributions of Linux. I have 1 computer on Debian right now, and I had one on Knoppix. Open source rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 I have a computer running ubuntu, but I'm thinking about switchng it to fedora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hmm. Fedora is OK. I like Ubuntu better, but you must like it better for some reason. Red Hat is one of my favorites though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have Ubuntu 6.06 on one partition, WinXP on the other. I very rarely boot into WinXP, but it would take me a while to transfer files onto the Ubuntu partiition and reformat the Windows half. I really should buy a second disk. Red Hats a nice distro if you want commercial support. My University used to ave Red Hat machines, now they switched to CentOS. Luckily nothing much broke either.

Kelso Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I use Ubuntu 7.10 and Mac OS X (Now that its officialy UNIX). I plan to install Solaris. I used to have Windows, but it crapped out every month or so. Not that I expect anything better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I use FreeBSD on my workstation (it's not desktop, it's bedside ). Also, I made a web-kiosk (a computer running a web-browser only) for my mother using FreeBSD (and Firefox). No M$ in this home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I run freebsd on my computer now, as well as windows xp. Freebsd doesn't have any driver support for my NIC so I can only get online with my xp computer. I really like freeBSD though. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Freebsd doesn't have any driver support for my NICMay be 7.0 has. Possibly using Windows driver under FreeBSD. What card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
