What OS should I install?

[ILikeSprite]

My WinXP install has gotten FUBAR for the SECOND time! I have gotten really fed up with WinXP........ I am going to reformat..... again. What OS should I install?

EDIT: My computer's specs if it matters......

Athlon 1.3GHz
384MB Ram
GeForce 2 GTS 64MB DDR
100GB Hard drive

I vote for Windows 3.1 since XP is too difficult for you.

I can't see how people have had so many problems with XP... I've installed it on many machines to do just about everything and had no problems.. Maybe it a hardware issue or something..

Yep, sounds like it. XP has been stable as a rock for me. Almost too stable, it's kinda boring

 

[Yzzim]

If you're not liking WinXP try Win2k....that's what I'm about to do as soon as I get some time.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

As you didn't have any OSes in the list I voted for cheese instead.

 

[GhettoFob]

XP, 2k and cheese, in that order

 

[poopaskoopa]

2K. I use XP now, and I think it gives me more errors than 2K... StyleXP just makes it so hard for me to leave it though...

 

[hooj]

have u totaly forgotten about Linux

maybe its a user issue then

 

[yakko]

I wanted to say XP but I couldn't resist the cheese.

 

[b0mbrman]

I think you should just go for DOS...it's impossible to mess up with DOS

 

[lawaris]

nope XP sucks .....but others suck more !!

 

[Kadarin]

I'd vote for Linux-Mandrake 8.2...

 

[mk]

I like Cheese

EDIT:

If you want a M$ Windows for general use XP is the way to go. It should run just fine on your computer.
If you have any problems with the install it's probably your fault.

 

[Mitzi]

Do XP again but this time do it properly!!!

 

[tops2]

xp as first choice
2000 as second choice
or wait till suse releases their new distribution of linux and install that
=)

 

[chibchakan]

<< cheese........ lots and lots of cheese!!! >>

 

[IGBT]

Staying with 98se till Mandrake gets a little more polish. But I'am finished with misrosoft.

 

[XxSuNSoOxX]

mandrake 8.1 was perfect from what i thought,, i had no problems with it, it ran beautifully on my bare bones system,, linux is the way to go man, but other then that win2k with sp2, unless you have a fast system for winxp

 

[joohang]

DOS 1.0

 

[Valhalla1]

haha.. 5-0 Win 3.1 over ME... what a POS ME is

 

[Pocatello]

Hahaha. Give Linux a try, Red Hat 7.2 is better than Mandrake 8.1 IMO. I still prefer win2k over Linux, for now.

A lot of times, XP instability issues stem from faulty hardware. Make sure all your hardware is working correctly. If you suspect any part to be failing, replace it and see how XP performs.
