Elite.Pete Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 i feel like the only one at this forum who uses linux, i use it as my main OS... Ubuntu 5.10 /w gnome anyone else use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 I am running a server with Suse 10, firewall with Smoothwall, and the linksys router with ddwrt.. However, I dont use it for my main os.. I guess I have never seen the need to run it as my main os.. I dont have problems with my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted March 22, 2006 CID Share Posted March 22, 2006 so not true - there are a lot of ppl on this forum that use linux - ud be surprised - linux isnt what it used to be before, thats why its attracting more and more people - its getting more colorful and fancy, and thats what most ppl like now, big part of those people using linux do not understand how it functions and what happens behind the pretty menus and '3d desktops' - if you are using linux, i highly recommend getting to know it inside and out, i guarantee ull have more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 23, 2006 CID Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have Ubuntu with Gnome on my main computer (with Windows) My home server is running Debian Sarge (KDE, but I almost never have the GUI running) I also have a Smoothwall box.

mudmanc4 Posted March 23, 2006 CID Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have one box W/ Suse 9.2 (32bit), She runs way, more efficient than almost any MS os, once she breaks in from a new install! Very interesting that you feel lonely, I guess I understand, as most novices use Ms, as unfortunate as this is ! Just think of the possibilities as if all os were open source from the time of introduction on one for the first time. Great post!!!!!!!!!!

richcornucopia Posted March 25, 2006 CID Share Posted March 25, 2006 Right now I've got linspire 5.059 running on my laptop and like it so far. It also seems to run much faster than windows did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
