Who here uses an operating system that is NOT M$?

[GeneralLeoFF]

Never herd of a company named M$ or Micro$oft.

I use a product from a company named Microsoft though called Windows XP. I also use Ubuntu and PC-BSD and whatever else I feel like messing with.

 

[Moneo]

Hmm, intentional misspelling of 'MS' and 'Microsoft'.

This means that either you're...

Ah, 13. Yes, that would explain it.

I love how people put a dollar sign in Microsoft. It's because they make money. I get it! They're a company, they're out to make money to be able to live.

I have XP and ubuntu but I don't use ubuntu since there is not a lot of game support.

I'm mostly using my iBook G4 with MacOS X but I've got a PC running WinXP aswell. Game support isn't important for me, though.

Just switched to Ubuntu last week. I had been giving it thought for the past 2-3 years, but never switched because of lack of compatibility for my old laptop's wireless card. Still dual-booting for the other people who use the computer and a few apps that won't work in wine, but I doubt that I'm going to be switching back anytime soon.

ubuntu at home, mandriva at work (I'm forced into using it)....

Age is a great way to find out how smart(or stupid) you are.

Ah, 27. That doesn't quite explain what is an adult doing here at a gaming community

Seriously, I only wrote it this way since there wasn't enough space in the title of the topic to fit "Microsoft", so I put M$ because people instantly recognize it as Microsoft.

I'm running Win98 on my main computer which MS no longer supports, does that count? I still haven't seen a compelling reason to shell out the $$$ for XP and Win98 has better compatibility with all my old Dos games and various hardware.

Win XP on the desktop, Ubuntu on the notebook

bad game support on non MS-Systems

remember folks, it's games that don't support Linux, not Linux that doesn't support the games

CODEif (OS != WinXP) then Print "error"

FreeBSD i386

Also got a bunch of debian (sarge) boxes and NetBSD running on sgimips (Octane with dual R16ks to be exact).

 

[Phrostay]

My main machine has OS X, but I've ran many different OS'es such as yellow dog, SUSE, ubuntu and fedora core...oh yeah and I have winXP somewhere but I always use that in classic mode, people forget that windows, *even vista* still runs under DOS :S word '97 was the best office bundle evar & winNT was the best release IMHO.

 

[capt.fruitcake]

mac OSX and linux debian

 

[rest0re]

mac os X

Arch Linux and Ubuntu, getting sick of all the noobs running ubuntu thinking its the holy grail of linux

 

[Azimuth]

Nice to see many Ubuntu users here

I use Ubuntu on my Desktop and Zenwalk on my laptop. Does any of you have experiences with using flashcards on linux?

Wine can emulate most flashcart managers, checkout my sig for the g6 udisk manager. Will try others if anyone is inteterested

 

[Sick Wario]

just in the past month i have been trying ubuntu on a 5 year old PC, and yes i am a linux noober
i was told ubuntu was the best to learn with, and i really like it.

deadcell which linux would you suggest for someone who has no experience?

 

[Ben_j]
