    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    I personally LOVE SUSE Linux; I've met most of the people who work on it, and they were really cool guys, and even did favors for me, who is, at the time, a total no one, like me saying to Marcus Meissner "Hey man, that Kernel update, I know I need to reinstall my Nvidia Driver, but it...

    Unix operating systems

    I also find that funny. I remember the first time I read about OS X on the Apple Web Site, and saw they had a huge Logo Proclaiming "Unix" and that it was certified. FreeBSD isn't allowed to be LEGALLY called Unix, and yet Apple used it for OS X, and they CAN call it Unix lol. I guess the...

    Unix operating systems

    VMS is a swear word in my House. We do NOT allow it. As for what's Unix and so on; FreeBSD has more rights to be called Unix than just about anything on that list. Both from an Historic AND a Technical point of view, FreeBSD is Unix. I've been flamed for this more than a Rammstein concert...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    For Desktop use, I've used a lot of different OSs, and I still have most of them, but I've had pretty good results with PC-BSD. It's basically FreeBSD with a face lift, some paint and polish, and some custom apps to make use of it as a Desktop a LOT easier. Out of the box, with a normal...

    Maybe; I've slept about 12 hours in the last 8 Days.

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Though I'm a little more Biased towards the BSD License; I don't know I'd go as far as saying everything they did was bad or even not OK. I came from Windows 98 on my first ever PC, so just about anything I tossed on that box was an improvement in terms of Stability.... Windows 9X had Memory...

    Archiving and Compression Tools

    Sebulon; Yes I did. I've been kinda sick the last couple days to the point I literally couldn't even sit in my Computer Chair which was purchased because of my back in the first place, but it's been REALLY bad. So I'm sorry for taking so long to show the gratitude but yea been a rough week...

    Archiving and Compression Tools

    Whoa, dude.... I like that idea! I still want to wait and see what else the members here reply with, but I may set up a test machine with your idea, because I really REALLY like that. The Network being slowed down isn't an issue for me, I don't mined that at all as long as it works. See...

    Archiving and Compression Tools

    Hello all, I wasn't really exactly sure where to post this, so if it's the wrong forum, please let me know. Anyway, on to what I'd like to find out: I'd like to know more about the Archiving and Compression Tools available on FreeBSD. Information about my set up : My Wife and I...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Well, it was a while ago, but I did a default install of it, and then saw updates for Media Player, which I looked though the Programs and found.

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    For Servers, I've tried out a bunch of stuff. I have a copy of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition which I got for free YEARS ago, and I did install it on a Desktop system once to give it a try, and even though it was a lot faster than I expected, I didn't even bother trying to use it as a...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    This is just my opinion: First off, PC-BSD is in my personal opinion, a GREAT Desktop OS; You basically have FreeBSD with a paint job, and some custom tools making the whole thing incredibly easy to use. I rarely EVER do this, but I'd go as far as saying that if PC-BSD stays on course, it...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    For gaming, I think the easiest experience I've had was SUSE 8.2, with an Nvidia Video Card, because I grabbed the .sh installer, shut X down, installed it, and then, when I brought it up, it showed the Nvidia screen, and I could play anything. That's the best experience I've had period.

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Oh I do check that, heh, sometimes you can get lucky and either find something really cheap, or free if you're willing to come get it (Isn't that how Debian say they work? lol) But yea I look on there as well. Good score by the way! And drhowarddrfine; Sooooo hate you right now lol. Not only...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Heh, yea. Those Adapters seem to range quite a bit. But yea that Monitor, is just amazing. I've always Loved SGI stuff though. The first time I saw an SGI Computer, I was like "OMG! They make something other than a white or gray box!" Because it was like Neon Purple or something. I've just...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_1600SW That one. Also, for the other reply about PC Hardware, I think it may have been taken a little wrong, since I do personally use PCs as Servers too, and one in particular has been like amazing! The very first Computer I ever bought myself, which is...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    I can say why SGI is better with one line: PC - "Let's make it as cheap and as powerful as possible" SGI - "F*ck their budget let's make it the best it CAN be, and make sure the Hardware can stand up to being abused worse than Blow...Actually let's make the price about the same as blow!"...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    OK, now I HAVE to pop in here for this one; It wasn't easy to understand exactly what you meant, but that's OK, I think I got it. I personally don't know how ALL of YOU feel about this, but even with the way things are going right now, where regular PC Hardware is becoming the norm, if I were...

    Which is your Favourite Linux?

    Everything taken from Unix has SOME form of Manual... "man man" ;) Ubuntu is just African for "I'm too sissy to use Slackware" and got ripped off of Debian, and just shows that a billionaire really CAN take whatever they want and make it work.
