Windows XP.

I'm gonna change OS this year. I'm probably going to start using either Debian or Ubuntu. Havnt decided which (yet).

Windows is for inbred.
MacOS is for homosexuals

I dualboot (for wireless Internet on my Toshiba P100 SD8 to work) with :dretch: Windows MCE 2005 and :tyrant: Ubuntu 6.10 (XGL/Compiz). I have Tremulous installed in both.

P.S. If you have a Toshiba P100 SD8 with Ubuntu 6.10 and have wireless working, suggestions would be really appreciated. All my attempts have failed and this laptop was not Linux friendly to configure. I have tried the Synaptic repository stuff for Toshibas.

edit: Ubuntu 7.04 fixed this.

I've been doing linux for 10+ years now and I've tried about

These days I run Linux from Scratch,
a lot of work but definitely worth the effort

There is Q3 for Amiga OS ( http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22014&forum=9&5 ), so maby it isn't so hard to port trem also?

Try asking on http://amigaworld.net, maby they will know sth. about it.

I use XUbuntu, and linux has better hardware support than windows, bar maybe wireless and ATI.
most stuff just works, and it doesn't have to install stuff every time a USB stick is plugged in, or for mice.
I see no reason to ever use windows again.

ok what i actually should have said is that i will be more likely to use linux when hardware vendors support it.

imo linux users (some) fixation with open source is whats holding it back from the mainstream, i really dont want everything to be open source, i just want it to work in a simple way, and preferably without compiling it first :]

PS. I use linux all the time at where other people set it up and maintain it.

Title: I use linux. How about you?
Post by: ::ThePredator on March 16, 2007, 03:37:27 AM

Really? 'Cause I was under the impression that XP was just a few extentions to DOS which was bought as a crappy (and most likely illegal, not sure on the law at the time) clone of C/PM, which was by standards at the time horrible, UNIX blew it out of the water.

Don't know where I got that notion.

Anyways BeOS was BY FAR the best operating system ever made, to bad palm had to come in and destroy it, I hope they burn for doing that (anybody up for a little arson at the palm headquarters?).

Post by: ethana2 on May 04, 2007, 02:10:08 AM

And boy, would my life be easier. I'm in XP now, but I use TortoiseSVN, Apache, Tremulous, Nexuiz, Firefox, OpenOffice, the GIMP, Blender, Evolution, Azereus, Inkscape, Audacity, Ethereal.... (on and on and on)

Basically, when I migrate, the only thing that'll change will be the kernel, GUI, media player, and ease of use ;) FEBE will take care of my 20 FF extensions.

I hate not having a regular functioning Linux bash. Well, I have a triple boot system, but none recognize my ATI card but Windows... And I want Ubuntu because Envy will automatically recognize the card.

When it comes to problems, I don't know where Microsoft ends and Cox begins. Apache, Trem server, and such can't escape, even though I put a hole in my router, and Windows firewall has them approved, etc. ethana2@gmail.com- help would be nice, I guess. Mainly with Windows IP and ports stuff, though.

I dual boot Windows XP, and Ubuntu 7.04. I have a problem with Ubuntu though, it will never start up, and is just wasting harddrive space. Says I have to mount a drive or something.

My laptop runs windows 95, doesnt even have a CD drive :) thats when you use to get your OS on like 20 floppies, but anyways.

Anyone know how to mount a hard drive in Ubuntu? I would love to ditch XP and have been trying to for about 3 months now.

Ever heard of Windows XP pirated Edition? I own a copy. Another guy I talked to said the same thing lava amount "man mount" without the quotes, but nothing happened, it said it couldnt find man. I do how ever get these errors when I boot:

Boot Normally:

BusbyBox 1,1,3 [debian 1:1,1,3 - 3UBUNTU3] built in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of builtin commands.
Sh: Can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)

Boot in recovery mode:

SCSI device sda: writecache: enabled, readcache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

linuxquestion.org I will go check that out right now. Yea WindowsXP installed correctly, I had windows 2000 on here just for the hell of it once. No errors happen during install at all. I have never used another linux distro, I heard ubuntu was a good one for starters so I kinda was gonna start with that.

Post by: Lava Croft on May 21, 2007, 04:43:04 PM

What? Your Linux distro comes without manpages? If you just open a term and enter 'man mount' without the ' ', it should just open the manpages for the 'mount' command. If not, get a proper distrubution or fix your installation.
