What OS do u use?

I tried doing this in OT, but got locked after 5 posts (still don't know why). Hopefully the change of forum was all that was needed.

Why are there 6 windows options and only 1 each for linux and bsd? You'll find just as many serious arguments between the various distros as *nix vs. windows here.

I'm lazy, and am not going to list all 200 some distros of linux.

Edit: Whatev. I'll post the 10 major distros off distrowatch.

Linux is Linux. 1 option is fine. BSD on the other hand... There's OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and DragonflyBSD. And they're all different, and should probably have seperate options. Mac OS X could probably be thrown in there, or at least somewhere in the poll (how could you forget Mac OS X?).

Also, you should have options for people that use multiple OSes. I use: Solaris, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. What option do I choose?

MAC and Mac are different things. I'm starting to understand why you originally posted this in OT...

I have never used MAC in my life, and have no desire to use it, and thus have little knowledge of it. I suppose I should put DOS and UNIX in as well since this is the OS forum. :disgust:

I bet you have used a MAC, as it's a part of a network card.

You're probably using a 'MAC' right now. You have never used a Mac.

😉

Edit: dammit!!

K, yes, self pwnage. I DO know about MAC addresses and such. I figured that ATers would be able to take the appropriate meaning from context, and I was too lazy to edit. Apparently I was wrong, so I will now edit to avoid any further confusion.

Edit: Edited.

Mac is short for Macintosh. MAC is not.

 

[Robor]

Dual boot Ubuntu 5.10 & WinXP Pro on my T42 (my primary system)
WinXP Pro on my Desktop (pretty much gaming only)
Win 2003 Server on my 2nd desktop (server if you will)

Yes, I know. I had to set up an ad-hoc WLAN between several comps at my house.

 

[Bluefront]

DOS......frequently at home, daily at work (dumb management, too cheap to upgrade).

 

[Sunner]

Which one to check...
Typing this on my Debian workstation.
Have one Debian server at home(two if you count a broken one that I've been meaning to fix...)
One Solaris box at home.
Two OpenBSD boxes.
Three Windows boxes.
And I've been meaning to have a look at NetBSD, though I guess that doesn't count since it's not up yet...maybe for my vacation 🙂

 

[caz67]

XP Pro SP2

 

[Wuzup101]

Mac OSX 10.4.4 on the powerbook (of course) and Ubuntu 5.10 is installed on the desktop in my sig (currently not at school with me though).
