What Os Do You Use?

[Digitalrat]

Regarding that there seem to be many new linux-users in the scene now, I would be interested what operating system everyone uses.

I hope I didn't forget any famous OS.

Main desktop: FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. I also have a Windows XP Professional partition but I only really boot into it to burn DC games these days. (Seems like all the DC games are in .cdi format and the tools for converting them to ISOs don't work for some reason.)
Laptop: Ubuntu 5.04. I'm going to step up to 5.10 when I finish a few projects I'm working on, and maybe dual boot it with Slackware or NetBSD (or maybe even Zeta, if it will play nice with my hardware) just to play around with something different.

I've also got a firewall/dhcp server on my lan that runs FreeBSD 4.11 but the hardware is dying so I've been bypassing it lately.

At work I'm stuck with XP Pro. Stupid tech support.

Fedora Core 4. Linux is much more efficient and there are way less viruses/spyware/etc, and also open source

Does any of the AmigaOS running people run AmigaOS4?


I for myself use Ubuntu 5.10 mainly and Windows XP (just for some games). Love to try different OSs.

I tried Linux once; I was constantly in dependancy hell. I hate Linux with a passion, and it serves no purpose when it comes to me.

Windows forever.

It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools. I've had dependency problems maybe 3 times in the last five years across several Unix-style OSes.

Take your time with it. Research the distro you want to read an FAQ/Tutorial beforehand. Download a Live CD so you dont have to make another partition and you can just mess around with it without taking up HDD space or in case something goes wrong.
