For The Geeks!!

[JAMC]

FAVOURITE OPERATING SYSTEM?

 

[JAMC]

Me at the mo like Win 2000 but I am trying out XP again for some reason.
Maybe cos I is a geek and like messing with puters!!
Can I have my avatar back please?

Where are Linux and Mac OS choices?


Real geeks would use one of these.

 

[Brovion]

Linux yes. Macs are for girls and coke-sniffing arty types who value design over substance. Any old Univac/IBM operators/programmers remember OS3? Or ICL's George?

I am very much liking the Windows XP Pro. That said, I have an even geekier friend (who does such things for a living) that swore by 98 SP2 for years until XP came along.

Whatever you do, don't touch Windows ME. Anybody (and there are plenty) with the misfortune to be running that pile of shite should be entitled to a free XP upgrade under the Trade Description Act.

Is that geeky enough for you?

i'm xp - so i like xp nuff said!

 

[Italiaseagull]

Win 2000, it's a considerable improvement on WIN NT4 which was quite frankly shite!

I have three PCs at work, one running win 2k, one XP and the other Linux.


At Home I have XP.

I'm a computer engineer and support Applications on Linux. windows and Unix so have to.

Sad but I get paid for doing it.

I have 3 PCs, running 95, 98 and XP.

95 was cack, 98 first edition weas also pretty poor. 98 second edition is alright (except it doesn't default to TCP/IP protocol thereby making networking a nightmare). XP looks the mutts nutts and I have just installed .Net Enterprise architect on that one. When I start developing using that, I reckon it'll be XP for me especially as the security floors are being ironed out.

If you want a big boy's operating sytem, Linux is where it's at.

Windows XP.................you have to keep up with the times...................anything else is very Yesterday

 

[Gwylan]

I have Red Hat Linux at home and XP in the office.

Blatant plug: Any techies out there who want to have a look at a comparative guide between Linux and Windows should have a look at http://www.techworld.com/ and download the PDF. It's for serious users though.

It's a blatant plug as I had some input to it.

[GEEK ALERT]

Crap poll for Windows whores.

Linux, though given a choice of the above it would be XP

XP for me, barely ever crashes and had only 1 major crash since I've had it (18months now).
As long as it works fine then its OK with me and mine works fine so its OK with me

Macs are for girls and coke-sniffing arty types who value design over substance.

You're a bloomin' mystic! How didya know I used a Mac, Brovian

(But do have XP on the PCs)

 

[Brovion]

Ahh you're a journalist! Arty and creative types are forgiven! It's us beer-drinking, burger-eating systems programmers with no social life and poor personal hygenie who hate Macs (unless their Big with fries and a strawberry shake)
