Which Os Is The Best?

[ZeWarrior]

I was strongly considering it at one point, but the large premium of the hardware has set me off of that route. Tried OSX86 a few times with no success.

Same here. The price is just too high. I did actually get a working OSX86 install, but I had no internet access. Computers get boring without internets. :\

If you build a PC with the right parts, you can have a very cheap hackintosh. a $600 Custom Built can probably beat the $2000 iMac in most things. Sure it saves you money but if you like what your using, shouldn't you support it? That's the way I see it anyway.

And Urza which OSx86 Release did you use? With Uphucks I easily installed it on a spare computer. Ran it for about a week and uninstalled.

Why isn't Linux on the list!?

I tried like 5 different repacks and none of them worked due to my SATA hdd.

Granted, this was back in November, so maybe I would have more luck with a more recent release.

I lurved my hackintosh. unfortunately, it didnt support my graphics card, or more, my graphics card didnt support it.
Getting a Mac in the near future.
Hopefully.
If I do, I don't know whether to Bootcamp, Wine, or Parallels.
For the Hackintosh, I used Jasc OS X.4.8
Yay Macs!

Really?Crackers don't care about Linux and other UNIX derivatives because no-one uses them? That's weird, because I'm pretty sure a large percentage (well over half, maybe reaching into 70 or 80 percent) of well....the internet.... runs on either Linux or BSD.

Damn those crackers.




For me XP seems to be the most hasslefree really. Vista is a horrible mutant.

Hacker = extreme programmer or person who likes to figure out how a particular hardware or software works

Cracker = person who likes to destroy other peoples' computers for the lulz.

 

[herbanassault]

I'll say XP. However, I'm aware that I could be easily persuaded to believe that Linux is the king of the OS.

 

[Chotaz]

Ubuntu + WINE ftw! =)

 

[drock360]

Ubuntu FTW!

Use Ubuntu! I used to use XP until I tried out Ubuntu. It was love at first sight. Try it yourself, you can order a live cd for free from the website and you can install it if you like it.

I recently downgraded from Vista to XP.

I almost feel like buying a MAC.


Look Macs aren't Acronyms. They don't need to be Capitalized. You don't type VISTA do you?

Jesus christ are you apart of the apple marketing team or something?

All of those OS's suck.. too much bloatware. I use windows 95 cos it doesn't need bloatwarez and low ram.

 

[Jaejae]

I'm running Ubuntu and an eXPerience customized version of Server 2003 on my desktop, and FreeBSD for my server.

 

[sonofx51]

another vote for XP because I am afraid of change.

 

[TLSpartan]

the only reasons OSX and Linux builds are "flawless" is that because hackers don't wanna hack them since no one obviously use them. They are like or worse then XP.

Hell, I use XP, at least you can find software for it.

Several things wrong there. I use MEPIS 7.0

Been through alot of distros. Ubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu 7.10, openSUSE 10.3 KDE, Xubuntu 7.04, 7.10 and now MEPIS.Ubuntu (and its derivatives) performance degrade over time to point where it is unusable(Why I changed)openSUSE had a fatal X error and I didn't bother reinstalling it. Ran Xubuntu for a month(changed because of performance degradation) used live cd's for a couple weeks and then Azimuth suggested me MEPIS on MSN. I used to keep DSL on my 1GB transcend Flash Drive but I formatted it for some unknown reason and I haven't gotten around to reinstalling (Puppy Linux 3.1 also looks nice, may give that a whirl tonight) I used to use XP until the middle of last year when i decided to try something new. Haven't regretted since

Linux needs to be here.


Best is probably XP or linux but as urza said, it is all just opinion.

 

[Doggy124]

XP for me.

Vista's crap.
it doesn't support anything.

I literally type as an XP user, I test drove my friend's extremely high-end Mac (Leopard). I have to say that it's one of the most amazing moments of my life. There's an awesome feature called the Time Machine which can recover documents from yonks ago,

Next computer of mine is going to be a Mac. They can run Windows and Linux side-by-side in seperate windows with virtually no slowdown.

And you only have to pay two to three times as much as Windows PC to get it!

QUOTEThey can run Windows and Linux side-by-side in seperate windows with virtually no slowdown.

You can do the same thing in both Windows and Linux.

 

[naes]

I use XP currently, so I voted that. I switch OSes every once in a while, mainly XP and a random Linux distro.

 

[Salamantis]

OSX, for all the reasons posted in the other replies.

Fast, secure, sexy and feature-packed.
