Well the newest MaximumPC had an article about alternative operating systems (notice i didn't say OS because that is a nickname and nicknames are for friends and my operating system is no friend of mine) and it got me interested in trying out a few. I do a lot of video editing stuff so BeOS looks pretty sweet but I have yet to find any good websites with useful information from actual users. I would like to hear from any of you who have used these operating systems for such reasons... I am basically illiterate when it comes to anything like linux, i dont want to spend my days maintaining my computer, i would like to use some software (yes I know about windows). Oh, one last note, yes I do subscribe to MaximumPC and actually really enjoy reading it!
