irokin Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I gave up on windows a few weeks ago and moved completely to linux. Its a bit more challenging to get everything working just the way youre used to but with a bit of perseverance Ive got it pretty much just how I like it. yay linux! :P BTW its just an XP theme if you hadnt guessed. Ive got mac OSX ones and just generic fluxbox themes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 linux runs internet a LOT faster as most servers are linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 linux runs internet a LOT faster as most servers are linux. Its not so much server compatability as the fact theres no proprietary code like microsuck. Besides windows is bloatware... 1hr to install? pfft took me less than 10 minutes to install slackware (minus the time I spent sorting out my SATA drives).

irokin Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I find you really have to commit to it completely...otherwise you end up back in windows a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 comparing two identical machines and identical connections, linux is always faster over the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldephyre Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I use Mac OS X. "Like Linux".. but better looking... and no f@$king around to get things working... and the hardware is sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Ive got things against OSX.... Correct me if I'm wrong but they took the linux code, spiced it up a bit and now flog it for money. Pfft thats just not cricket... Its still a very nice OS regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
