What operating System do you run?

this is a poll and pretty straight forward question.

Server runs Suse linux Enterprise 10
my Workstation runs opensuse 10.2
My Wife Runs Ubuntu 6.10
Firewall runs mandrake 9.1

Yes All Linux

OSE RTOS on ARM9. At home I have the one with the "start" menu at the lower left.

I run XP Pro and have been happy with it.

You need to allow multiple choices. My primary desktop is Slackware Linux. On my various other machines I run FreeBSD 6.1, Anonym.OS (occasionally), Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows 2000 (occasionally). I just took down my OS/2 Warp V3 this past summer.

Your right there also forgot to add the bsd in that poll. any way to alter it?

Still running Windows 95. Super cool.

I had XP pro on my windows machine until it died. Now I'm running Mac OS X Tiger (running XP pro in Virtual PC so I can run ProMash)

I run XP Home and XP Pro on my work computers. The newest laptop I got for my folks runs Vista. I really like XP, the short time I spent setting up the Vista machine didn't leave me particularly impressed with the new OS.

I run XP Home because that's what we use at work (well, we run Pro at work, but close enough...), so I can easily bring projects home. I used to have a dual boot Linux/Windows machine (in college), but I wasn't very happy with the everyday-use type software offerings for Linux, so I scrapped it. I really dug the Enlightenment window manager, though. I might have to look into Linux again now that it's matured quite a bit.

WTF? Where's the Mac OS X option? There are more of us than there are Linux guys (in the world, not this forum).

Home: Slackware
Home Office: Slackware VM Server (VMs = Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K, WinXP, Win2K3), XP Pro Workstation, Slackware SAN (3TB)

The VMs are for testing our software on various Windows versions. I also use XP virtual machines completely setup for each client with a complete development platform for their particular projects. Talk about taking up a lot of space. I've got 3TB of dedicated storage and still needing more.

I'm definitely a Linux guy but Windows pays the bills. Oh well.

Sorry bud my bad I NEED to alter the poll. Besides OSX is just BSD anyway


Yes I need to alter the poll

CentOS 4.4 kernel 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp [Yah, I really do have a dual-processor home system. I've been geeking for 37 years. Next system, dual quad core]

I also have W2000 on an ancient Dell laptop for testing. No battery, but who cares?

I run XP home or pro on all mine... Getting ready to get a new one for the house and will probably try VISTA.

XP. I've been wanting to go to *Nix, but I'm a bit chicken to lose all my apps.

XP - like bradsul says; it pays the bills although I got UNIX running our business system at the office. I dabbled with redhat for a while on some spare boxes but since I have no real reason to dive deep into it; it'd just be a hobby. And I like my other hobby better.

FreeBSD and Ubuntu/Linux, with some XP in there if I've just got to...

NERDS!!

Yeah, I'm one too....

my vote is OS X

At home the PCs have WinXP, although one can dual boot into Ubuntu.

At work I use various machines ranging from an ancient Red Hat install to Win 98 to Debian etch.

My laptop runs Linux (OpenSuSe), thinking about changing it over to Ubuntu though.

My Desktop is running Vista (which wasnt on the poll)

My PVR is (probably) gonna be running Ubuntu when i get around to DLing it.

Apple OS X

XP Pro, Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, OS X

A new addition for me: Debian/NSLU2 - sweet (cheap) little project box.

XP, got media center edition on this comp (bleagh) only because it came with it. as soon as i reload, i'm setting up a raid and will install XP pro. not really thrilled about Vista and will hold off as long as i can for that "upgrade". bleagh again.

HOLY WOW! I'm the only one using windows 2k! Cept this laptop, this POS doesn't count its just a machine to use at work when I should be working and not thinking about tasty beer.....

Ubuntu for the main pc, XP pro on the gaming box, Mandrake @ work

No issues with it so far. I'm actually running off of a USB flash drive for toying around mostly
