what operating system is the best but the cheapest to use i dont want vista it is to expensive i want to try linx buy i am used to windows so which one would you choose
 
well xp...

but you should go with linux.. if you get pclinuxos its prettty much the same as xp.
 
I'm a Windows Fan (Sadly) but if you want to try Linux for the first time, try Ubuntu. download the ISO image and burn it to a CD/DVD with Imgburn (easiest ISO burner) and then boot to the newly created CD/DVD. there are lots of other distros out there including smaller ones like SLAX for a basic Linux environment.

But check things out and see what you like. There is an entire list of Linux distros Here.

Have fun!

And BTW, Vista falls under the "Windows" category.

I voted Windows assuming you meant XP. I'm running Vista right now but XP has never given me any problems ;)
 
I am assuming that "Linx" means Linux, and that is #1 in my books. XP is second...and the more I use Linux day to day, the farther into the dust XP fades.
 
yah sorry i meant xp i jsut always call it windows and i call vista, vista
does anyone know how i can change it
and which website would be good to buy it from and which is cheaper xp or liunx
 
Wow, this is what happens when you don't think the choices through before posting.

Vista is Windows!!
 
Is there a way to use an iPod with Linux? I would love to go to Linux full time as i have toyed around with numerous distros of it but don't know how to use an iPod with it.
 
I had linux a while back and i didnt like it mainly because my Zune program didnt work with it and i couldnt get it to work. Other than that Ubuntu is way more stable than windows. but its hard to run games and other things like that on linux, or i just dont know how. If i could figure out how to run linux with CSS and bf2 i would probably switch to it.
 
I've used Linux for four years +, NEVER had a problem, it NEVER crashed. The
BIGGEST problem was....uh, I can't think of any.

Vista is on my secondary computer, and its days are numbered. As soon as I get back from this convention in Lexington, I will come back with a Fedora Core 8 dvd. Linux will slip from the DVD and kick Vista off the hard disk platters. It has crashed twice in three days.

XP is OK, but the best Windows OS is good old Windows 98. I still use 98.
However, 98 and (soon) XP is not to be sold anymore. The way MS's EULA is written, I would just stay on the safe side and not use multiple copies of XP or 98 (or any OS in between) and just don't use MS operating systems and make the move to Apple MacOS X or Linux. My advice: anything with UNIX in it or a UNIX clone (BSD, Solaris, MacOSX, Linux...) you will be taken care of. Anything else (MS WinVista) you are doomed.

If you are really persistent with sticking with windows, and that's ok, just hold on to your old PC for a couple months and wait until MS has all the bugs worked out.

Zune user: Zune is only engineered for MS software. It works with MacOS ONLY with Windows Media Player installed and in use because its microsoft software, as far as I have heard. Sell your Zune and get a cheap MP3 player
for under $100. By the way, most MP3s are disposable commodities with nonremovable batteries, so be careful what you buy.
