Steve, Linux has great hardware support and it also has the ability to do automatic updates(Red Hat, anyways). I have never had it not detect and install drivers for any hardware I've had.

on another topic what happened to BeOS? I was playing with ver 5 and it was neet. Steve |
Steve, 5 years ago you could put linux on a floppy (still could, I suppose) but today it's plug and play, has support for most everything, a decent GUI and it needs a much larger hard drive :razz:
|
Yup!
Linux is fun and easy. Just, if you are a gamer, you need to get wine running to play video games as very few games are released for the linux platform. And, sadly, wine sucks... try out fedora or suse now that redhat is discontinuing support... |
I've have a mini-ISP setup on my Linux server for about 10 years. I hooked up 6 I-Modems to it for people to dial-in at 56K and use it as their gateway. I set up a webserver, a mail server, and a DNS server on it all for free. To do the same thing on Windows would cost several thousand dollars.

Bob, if you are just a "user" I'd stay with Windows. Don't upgrade if you don't have to. I know a few people that still use Windows 98. They have everything they need and MS is not supporting Win98 anymore. I've always hated XP from the start. I went to a open unvailing they had the the Maxbell and got a free XP Pro. I used it for about a month and went back to Windows 2000. I use 2000 on my laptop, but I run linux on my main machine and on another downstairs. Go to www.gentoo.org , scoll down about 1/2 way and on the left side it will have "screen shots" Take a look what you can do if you want :) There is also Live versions too. They run off the CD. It'll give you a good idea what it is all about. Enough of my ramblings! If I could get rid of Windows I would! But my wife still won't change :)

I did get all 3 flavors of linux running good enuf to evaluate it, hence the reason I am running XP now. I decided linux is for tinkerers and kiddy hackers. I went two years on my install of XP untill a hard drive crash and ram burnout (colatterial dammage from a power supply failure :rolleyes: ) forced me to reload a new drive. my server has been running win 2000 server for over a year with the only reboot when I moved and 2 power outages.. Linux was popular with the bill haters and the people who were against paying for software back in the day. Now you have to pay for flavors of it, but you get the source code so you can modify it. if windows gave the source code out and only charged 1/2 the amount it would be pretty close to the same idea. BeOS was going to be the OS to rule them all but bad markiting caused it failure to catch on in the same fasion as OS2 and Beta. I think I still have a copy of BeOS5 and it is amazing, fast, stable and a multimedia lovers wet dream. to bad it didn't pick up enuf to be a main stream OS. Steve |
Hey steve, i was looking at BeOS 5 to run my multimedia software. From what i heard its being devloped under a new name and company... not sure though.
|
I just descovered they sold to a subciduary of PALM for 11 million, plus they got 23 mil off a settlement from microsoft so they are paying out the sharholders and desolving BE. so i wander what palm is going to do with it.. new palm OS that is totaly seamless with the desktop.. hmmm
