    Which operating system do you use primarily? I use Linux, and have windows XP installed for people I let use my computer, and for a couple games that wine is too slow on. Most people here probably use XP I would guess.

    I really like Windows XP. I use it on my laptop. Both of my servers run RH.

    I use Xp but i found out that if it goes wrong; it does it in style, thus, i want to get RedHat sometime soon.

    XP here, I was very pleasently surprised with it. But the lie about it not having the dreaded blue screen of death annoys me. I get it very often!!

    I have a cool cpmputer, and have upgraded it, but never the OS, I never got around to it, I might switch to XP soon. I wish I could learn how to use Linux and use a cool GUI, and use patches to run all my programs, but I only have a certain amout of time in a day.....

    I'm using Mac osX. So far so good. I should start playing with the unix half a bit more, but I'm lazy.

    I recently began running LongHorn (Windows 2003) on one of my systems. We'll see how it goes. So far its DOG slow and i have a decent machine...1.8 Ghz. It looks a lot better though. Very nice aesthetics.

    If you don't you're in trouble!

    Course the Hamster is called a power supply and the gears a CPU!-)

    The Hamster is fed through that little cord plugged into the wall, and the gears are shifted by the OS, if windows you can often hear them gnash.

    Most important thing of all; YOU should stay in the driver's seat!-)

    Saying Pine marks you as an amateur. The proper term is CCPC ConiferousCelluloseProductChip.

    FreeBSD / Gentoo Linux / Windows 2000 Pro for my desktop x86
    Mac OS X on my iMac.

    I just switched from Mandrake Linux, to Gentoo last week. Gentoo is alot leaner and faster, and portage kicks ass.
