What operating system do you use?
Just wondering what operating system everyone uses on their computer.
I currently have 1 computer dual booted with xp and vista rc1 and another with suse 10.1
Just curious to see what everyone else uses and likes.

Once the 1st SP has been released for Vista & it doesn't crash most computers I will consider it

windows vista..yuck..will never use it.
For those of you that don't know much about linux..you should check out Linspire... its sort of like a windows flavor of Linux... they made it as close to windows as possible to help people transition...its something like $60...then for $20 a yr..you can have a service where you get easy access to all the neat new applications that are being developed for linux...with easy installers.

Why pay for something that can be found completely free of charge? No, I'm not referring to pirating software. Ubuntu for example is a very user friendly Debian based linux distro and there are no yearly fees to install software. Just use Apt-get or if someone is intimidated by the command line use a gui frontend like Synaptic.
Winxp pro on one machine and Debian,Gentoo,Ubuntu,Slackware on my main machine. I would be 100% windows free if it wasn't for school.
