Hi guys what Os have u got on ur pc


i have the free ubuntu linuxs find it better than windows more stable and no virus or spyware

P.S i love the login screens they rock

Rambo

lol me too!! My friend "converted" me from Windows to Ubuntu about 4 weeks ago. I'm loving Ubuntu... The interface is soo much easier, and it's always nice to have a change IMO. I'm on Hoary Hedgehog 5.04

I do still have Windows on my main partition, but I can't remember the last time I logged into it...

And, it loads up soo much quicker, and yep, no more virus problems...

Linux isn't very game friendly, although it does support some games, like UT2004 for example. And for all the programs in Windows that can't be used for Linux, you can get very similar programs. For example, Microsoft Office, for Linux, you have something called "OpenOffice". And guess what, OpenOffice is very similar to Microsoft Office and it's free!

Linux shouldn't be used for games. I use it mainly as my cheap UNIX alternitive at home. And of course the 3D drivers for my x800 AGP are nonexistant.

For those who don't want to purchase Microsoft Office you can get OpenOffice for your Windows machine as well. Works great! Don't worry about transporting files either, handles all MS filetypes.

I use Vista Beta 1 for testing purposes and XP Home (Wish I had Pro) for gaming purposes. I don't have a virus problem because of my multitude of blocking programs. Kind of bad when you have an OS that needs a firewall, an AV program, and 3 Spyware-removal programs but it is a small price to pay for a clean PC. Also, it's kind of funny, if you go into Safe Mode in Vista, one of the options says Widows instead of Windows.

Why not? It's an OS... It can be used to play PC Games on... And you can get the latest drivers for nVidia, and I should imagine the same for ATI.
