Operating Systems.

Well as unpopular as windows can be, I will admit to being a Windows user.
Hate windows xp though, also hated windows 98.
Windows 2000 is ok.
What other options are there out there that people are using?

i hate to admit it, but as of right now, i am dependent on windows. i run xp pro on my system.

however, linux is a very popular alternative, and i will be setting up another linux box once i get another hard drive to put into my old system. it currently doesn't have one.

At home I use Debian Linux most of the time. I have another computer running MS Windows XP Pro... don't use it that much at the moment though.

At work I'm using MS Windows NT Workstation 4... hehe.

I'm dependant on Windows XP Pro at the mo. Linux is a great alternative, but I just need some programs and WINE just doesn't cut it.

Amen. Brother.

I usually try to find an alternative rather than wrestling with Wine.

An alternative to Photoshop?

I've spend years learning that program :p

cptnwinky · 12-02-2003, 05:44 PM

I still haven't learned it cuz I spent all my time on the less powerful Paint Shop Pro.

If I could find an alternative to Dreamweaver thats even close to par then I would switch all together.
