There is no general answer to this question. It depends on what do you want to use OS to. Server - Linux, Desktop - WinXP or Linux (with KDE or Gnome it is really easy to use this system). Besides Linux is totally free

I think winXP is better, but, I've never tried linux. I think I might have seen it once a long time ago, but I don't know if that was really linux...

Yeah, linux all the way, linux servers can be left on for months without restarting while windows server can be only left on for a couple of weeks without restarting, i have that problem at work on our win2000 server.

QUOTE(kilz @ Oct 1 2004, 09:43 AM) most of linux or unix are servers, I think they will be more stable. . . personally, I use windows and run servers software, because windows are more popular. . . .useful but linux/ unix sucks, you can do anything with them, so I like windows more. In what meaning "you can do anything with them"? I think that windows isn't sefe, and it isn't free and most of applications are free. |

I think that linux is better. It has much more virtues then windows:is free, safe and stable. There are many servers included in Linux, so shouldn't to hesitate.

Few years ago linux was really unfriendly for common user. But now linux is more flexible, drivers are generally available in internet ,you can even play many games.It is no problem to install simultaneously windowsXP and linux (you can download it).This is easy way to to acquaint this great system.But when computer has no internet connection linux is not recommended for games or entertainment but is still good in office or for programers.And is more stable then Windows

I Use UNIX, Linux, SunOS, Solaris, BSD on a daily basis.... but then im using them.. i notice no difference.. they all use the same standards, they are all compatable. i dont even notice that im not using linux most of the time. this is the way it should be... Operating systems designed to make MY life easyer when moving between different Labs using different OS's. Windows is a product... and like any other product, it want to make life as hard as possible for you to convert your knoledge of windows and make it usefull for other OS's. kinda like the tobacco industry's. |
