How many of you use Linux?

[Dan R Porter]

I am a proud Vista man... funny how everyone hates Microsoft stuff when it comes out, XP was the end of PC's as we knew it, now everyone is hating vista and screaming "give me xp!" haha the computer world is so funny.

I buy a $400 computer every year or so and keep up with the times, those $4000 g5s will soon be obsolete and I will have a $400 laptop that put it down in round 1.

oops I got of on a rant....

Vista deserved the hatred when it came out, but part of that falls on the PC makers, many who threw Vista on machines that should never have had Vista in the first place. My mom had bought a laptop when Vista first came out, one of the $400 walmart specials, and that thing CRAWLED at any and every task. It took me 3 hours to 'set up' the PC so that she could turn it on and go online. (And I am just referring to Vista's first time running procedure.) Finally, I installed Linux over it, a task that was completed faster then it would even boot up into Vista.

When I bought my laptop a few months back, I was prepared to dump the drive and turn it into Linux, but the PC handles Vista quite nicely, so I am keeping it on there.

I dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu, but will be switching to Mint soon.

I'm planning to put Ubuntu on my system again when I get the time. I took it off to run the release candidate of Windows Seven. In fact, I'm gonna toss vista out, run seven, ubuntu, and xp. Well, I'll be running seven and ubuntu. XP is kept around just for World of Warcraft, because it's the only way I can run dual monitors in WoW.

I've been dabbling in Unix fairly continuously since 1999, mostly with Slackware. I currently have a laptop that triple-boots Ubuntu, Slackware, and FreeBSD, and now rarely use Windows (XP) at home. Outside the home I don't have much occasion to use Unix except when I bring my laptop along.

Home system is Linux on the server, Linux on three desktops, and three portables. Only one desktop has Microshaft Xpect Problems on it in a very small secondary partition. At work the latest Very Insecure Serially Transmitting All (VISTA) forced the company to convert the whole system to Linux. - Nationwide.
