Well it IS linux-centric news site. Even if half of the people on here are trolls. I use Linux, BeOs and the BSd's. I use Linux at work because I am IN the IT department, and it's the tool that gets my job done. So, what you're saying is, the people who say they use Linx, really don't? I wouldn't be surprised
My wife's cousin is as dumb as a stump. I mean REALLY dumb. Only graduated high school because he had a tutor for every single class. (His parents are loaded) So, then he went to NYU, STILL dumb as a stump, and paid people to right his papers for him (I doubt he's the only one. There are people who make a living doing this shit).He had to have dual tutor cram sessions the night before his tests..to squeak by. Now he works for a major firm. Still dumb as a stump. I can't even TALK to him. He is just not "aware". The funny thing is...he has the degree. And the job. And his fellow "frat brother" execs are all as dumb as he.
Hmmmm..my mom uses Mandrake 8.1...she has no problem. ZERO. I just installed the new ELXlinux for a friend of mine (who FEARS Linux), and I'd have to say ELX has got the right idea. Go to their website...look at the screenshots.Then make a partition and install that sucker. I'm a 7 year Linux veteran and I was AMAZED at what they produced.
Bull shit! I had a computer before MS was in my conscious! The first time I heard the word Microsoft was using My Commodore Vic-20 and I saw Microsoft Basic in the manual! I've used Atari 800 XL's as well as Amigas and no..my first "mainstream OS" was NOT WIndows 3.1. I used my Amige til the end, when I discovered Linux in 93-94. And I dont think I'm the only one with similar experience.
I was never too keen about putting all your eggs in one basket. As a computer profesional, I consider my self a scientist or implementor of technology rather than a vendor whore. For example, I know a cisco guy who is probably the best Cisco Engineer I've ever met, BUT, he is not a slave to Cisco.He has an extremely broad range of networking protocols, and continues increasing his knowledge of "foreign" networking components. As well as myself, I know and use and administer 5 different UNICES, as well as Linux (SCO, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and IRIX). To me MCSE's are like the guys who say "If I'm gonna get hit by a car, it BETTER be a Ford"
Lotus Notes/Domino server runs on Linux as well as UNIX (especially AIX) and Windows, and besides the fact that it's a resource hog, I happen to think that Lotus Notes is pretty nifty. Although our nots admin won't say that:)
I am POSITIVE I had LOTR for my Commodore back in the 80's. If anyone can vouch for me that if existed, and I'm not hallucinating, that would be great! I even think I remember who "Cracked" the softwae copy I had...Eagle Warez
I know this is definitely out of a mortal's price range, but doesn't IRIX rule when it comes to Video production? Aren't most special FX done on an IRIX box?
I didnt think Macs were in the running.
Direct attacks are ignored by me. I will clarify my statement. My fiance is on disability. She has a terrible illness and fought for 2 years to get her benefits. Her sickness came from nowhere. Her behavior and actions did not cause her to have her illness. Multiple Sclerosis is a random shot. You get it or you dont. I know quite a few people with AIDS who are on benefits. They are homosexual, frequented "bath" house on a regular basis, and now cry that they have AIDS while they CONTINUE to frequent bath houses unprotected. How come they got disability benefits w/o questions? While my fiance had to PROVE she needed them. Her career as a ballet dancer was ruined. I honestly believe the people I know who have HIV ASKED for their illness. They knew the risks but didnt give a shit. They Said "I'll be paid for the rest of my life anyway." This is the Liberal United States doing this. It's paved with good intentions, but falls short of the mark.
If you lose a limb, or are deaf or blind you deserver disability. But, if you have AIDS, 9 out of 10 AIDS cases are from people who are Homosexual and practisig unsafe sex or are intravenous drug users. How does someone who caught AIDS thru those methods eligible for disablity? They ASKED for it! A perosn who is blind did not ask for blindness. Or a person who has cancer didnt ask for cancer. A person who engages in an activity which has a 95% chance of causing AIDS shoould NOT get disability!!! I know people who deserve disablity but who have been denied after years or suffering but people with AIDS get it immediately.....why is that????
I tried AtheOS about 6 months ago, and I was impressed. True, the install was very raw, but it was quick as a whip. I was amazed that this guy wrote the entire thing from scratch! He definitely has bragging rights for this puppy. I have tested practically every OS out there. I use Linux as my primary OS, I love Beos and QNX, and Atheos is truly impressive. It took 1,000 developers to fsck up windows, and ONE guy to make the amazing AtheOS Operating system. Evryone should at least try it out and show your friends!
Since I am in my early 30's, I have just 2 good friends, that I've known for maybe 12 years. Most od the "friends" I have made since then have merely become acquaintances. I am a very friendly person, however, I find it hard to find someone I can "sync" with. Although an office affair is fairly common!
I do the same thing. My fav is Mandrake for the Desktop, but, man, I love Debian's apt-get system. Mandrake detects all my stuff automagically, with Debian, I have to tune it a bit. Now, if someonce can make a Mandrake-like distro based on Debian, THAT would be the killer distro. (Progeny always screwed up my display)
I prefer a dedicated box for each OS. I have a QNX box (I LOVE QNX), a BeOS box (BeOS makes me feel all tickly inside), a Sun SparcStation 5 (Solaris used to be good before Linux came out),an OpenBSD box, a couple of various-flavored Linux boxen, and a win2k Advanced Server (just so I can install Citrix). Next I need to get me an Apple with MacOS X, but I'll wait till the price goes sub $500 for a Mac (maybe in 2015?)
I used to use FreeBSD until I had a spare 166 lying around and decided to install FreeBSD on it.
Didnt detect my ISA NIC for shit. So, I got OpenBSD, detected EVERYTHING, including my gateway. I was in heaven, until that dang disk label editor. I took an educated guess, make a / and a swap partition on the 1.2 GB drive, misestimated by a couple of meg, so I an now running on a 856 MB drive. No biggie...it's just a file server until I run out of space:)
I'm a Linuxand *BSD zealot. All my work is done on my Linux and OpenBSD PCs. At work, our company uses UNIX and Linux. We got an OEM copy of XP. I installed it on one of my NetVistas. I have to admit, it IS about 20 times faster booting up. That's about it though. On a 1 GHZ processor with 512 MB RAM, it is STILL slower than Mandrake 8.1 on the SAME machine. Mandrake 8.1 loads slower, but I have about 25 services running on it. I installed a mail server, IIS, and similar services on the XP system that my Linux system had, and the boot up time almost screeched to a halt. When it comes down to stability, it is DEFINITELY more stable than any previous MS OS. So, yes, it is more stable than win2k. It is more stable than WinME. However, it is NOT more stable than Linux. At my desk, I have 5 machines. (Linux, A Sparcstation, an OpenBSD box and now the XP machine). The XP machine still does not have the uptime as the other machines. I can not do the same things with the relative ease and/or multitasking as I can on any of the *NIX machines.
SO, yes...XP is more stable than previous WIndows OSes, but I am uninstalling XP at the end of the month. Actually, I noticed SUSE 7.3 live CD-ROM version worked faster on my NetVista than XP does.
Odd, eh?

I went to the site and the ISO they have for download doesnt exist! stage1.iso.zip isnt there!

Yes, but 90% of /. users are Linux users (or just SAY they use Linux but are too scared to rid themselves of their dependancy to windows)
Trillian is windows only! I dont use windows. You should specify this
I agree..but I ALSO thought about getting laid. It's not MY fault there were a plethora of unloved girls who needed attention :)

Our company uses Oracle and Siebel for that. It completley sucks balls though

Why even USE Windows? Just make a new partition and install Linux...it's not that hard.
