Title: Which OS do you use?
Post by: ForceSphere on 20 April 2003, 05:41: Well, I use RedHat, alittle Mandrake, and my new fav. Knoppix. And, im ashamed to say but i use winders 98 for games and such, although since i've seen the light of gaming (MUDs) i doubt ill be using graphical games any longer.

For some neato info, the MUD i play on is Prophecy, and its GREAT. You know why its great? Because it is powered by Red Hat Linux, kernel version 2.2.10 SMP. And the people who made it are die hard linux fans, that is why the game is made so flawlessly.

Post by: Pantso on 20 April 2003, 06:33: 1) Mac OS X 10.2.5

2) SuSE Linux 8.1

3) Win2k (due to some language restrictions with Linux)

SuSE Linux and Win2k dual-boot on the same machine, a Toshiba Satellite 1400 laptop, while OS X runs on an Apple iBook 600 (2002 model). That about wraps it up. (http://smile.gif)

Post by: M51DPS on 20 April 2003, 23:39: I love Jaguar (http://www.apple.com/macosx/), but Mac OS 8 and 9 are nice if you still have an older computer. Soon I'm going to try Linux (Yellow Dog (http://www.yellowdoglinux.com) as soon as version 3 comes out week) and I'm proud to say that I do not, never have, and never will use Windows at home for any reason whatsoever.

But why the hell does this thread reappear every other month.

Do you mean the hardware you're using isn't supported by anything other than windows?

Could it have to do with the fact that around 85% of all new members of the MES are also AOL members?
