VanBuren Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 hey sandandsnow22 not a stupid question but, i dont think there is many members that tested all these OS and then its hard to vote, like me i use win XP Pro and like it alot, but maybe the others is better maybe the question should have been what OS you running?

VanBuren yea that would have been better but most mac users usually use both. like I have a windows 2000 as the server for our wireless router but I prefer the Mac 10.3 for browsing and work. have you tried using Panther before?

MICROWAVE Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 I now use XP Home, but have used most of them I have XP Pro but don't have a need to use it. I guess I could break out my copy of ME.....L0L I think it all depends on what you do with the computer as to which OS you need. I have never owned a Mac ...(YET....

Grambler Posted February 22, 2005 CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 I am also using XP Pro at home for the reason of software compatibility. I would be very happy to use Mac OSX if it were more compatible. The Mac OSX is very stable, but what else would you expect from a UNIX based OS. As for LINUX. Yes it is very stable and secure, but nothing is compatible with it. I use RED HAT LINUX on my office server. XP PRO happens to be the big dog right now, but things change!

Dark_Matter Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 I Use two Operating Systems mainly they are Windows XP Pro, and Slackware Linux 10. I have most of my computers set as dual boot systems using LILO as the boot loader. I perfer the cfdisk option over fdisk when partitioning in Slackware 10. I use Slackware more so than Windows XP.
