What OS are you currently using

What OS are you using right now?

 

[Bourdon]

I'm using Ubuntu. I love it. Windows will never see my business again. Mac just seems like it is turning into the new windows with all of their resistance to open source.

 

[Fingers]

Windows here. I've never tried Linux because I usually buy a Dell system. I don't think you can get one without Windows yet.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I use Linux more specifically Ubuntu right now.

Sure can...Ubuntu on Dell | Ubuntu just buy a machine with a blank HD and install the OS of your choosing.

Man I really cant type tonight.

 

[JustDave]

Windows, because I booted into it to do work stuff.

But most of the time, Ubuntu

 

[Yuri_Rage]

The computer I'm using is a multi-boot system with:

Linux Mint (primary - everyday use)
Gentoo Linux
OpenSolaris
FreeBSD
Linux from Scratch

SWMBO's laptop has Vista and Linux Mint installed. She's slowly but surely becoming an (anything but Windows) convert as well!

I voted Linux.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Dual boot with Vista Business and Ubuntu 8.04

 

[phissionkorps]

XP and Vista. One came with XP when I bought it, the other I was forced to buy and was forced to use Vista on (school "conveniently" accepted the EULA for me). I tried to install Knoppix on a Dell once and it melted. Other builds of Linux either look like trash, or I can't figure out for whatever reason.

 

[billtzk]

Slackware Linux

 

[thataintchicken]

dual boot OSX / XP on the IMacs
OSX on Powerbook
XP on the EeePC in the courier bag.

 

[Blender]

I use Windows and it works great for me.

 

[StickyWicket]

my computer is dual boot with mint and ubuntu. but my wife has a windows desktop and a mac laptop. We've got all three covered!

 

[AnOldUR]

Windows. This is America, damn it. Speak English! :cross:

 

[FireBrewer]

Windows XP. It sucks but I don't have the time to learn Linux or the time to train SWMBO. It'd be like ripping a 305 out of a '78 Nova and replacing it with a 3.2L from a 2008 Japanese sedan.

 

[schweaty]

Windoze, I can't complain since I haven't upgraded to Vista yet!

 

[CBBaron]

I use CentOS at work (RedHat Enterprise Linux clone) and unfortunately XP at home.
At work I like that all my EDA tools targeted at RHEL work without a problem on CentOS.
At home my wife has enough difficulty understanding windows, I don't want to confuse her more by using a different OS than she uses at work. If I had my own computer it would run a Linux version.

pc games are not designed for linux or the others right?

windows is all i've used since i mostly game on this pc.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Windows XP. It sucks but I don't have the time to learn Linux or the time to train SWMBO. :

Ubuntu 8.04 bud. Piece of cake UI nuch like window, but like a billion times faster

 

[Laurel]

Mac OS10.5.5 or Leopard.

I use XP at work when I have to do work related things. Otherwise I'm on my macbook.

 

[Cregar]

Been using Macs at home since 1990. Use windows and macs at work but the windows machine seem to always be having problems.

 

[david_42]

CentOS 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP geek! geek! I've been using a form of Unix (starting with Xenix) on my desktop for over 20 years.

I also have a NT and a 2000 laptop, but those are strictly for testing. I also use OpenOffice/Firefox on the NT box.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I love how many HBTers are Linux users.

 

[Tenchiro]

On my laptop I am dual booting Linux Mint & Vista Home Premium and on my desktop I am running XP Pro Corporate since it si mostly a gaming machine.

Most of my surfing a general computer use is done on Linux though.

 

[cubbies]

Windows. Always have and always will. I dont have nearly as many problems with it as I have had with Linux in the past.

I am surprised that there is more Linux than Mac though.

 

[GregR]

dual book with Leopard and XP. though I never use XP. I have it just in case there is something I absolutely have to run and it isn't supported on macs

 

[Saccharomyces]

Windows, Linux, and MacOS X, but you didn't have that option.

 

[Bourdon]

Windows, Linux, and MacOS X, but you didn't have that option.

Well then select which layer you are currently running. I'm assuming you are using VMWare.

 

[Bourdon]

I am very surprised at the number of GNU/Linux people on this forum. I guess the "homebrew" mentality spills into the computer realm as well.

 

[Bopper]

OSX desktop
Windows laptop (junk)
