What OS are you running?

Exfoliate · 22-08-2006, 05:47 PM

I've got Win XP home on my PC and 3 macs running Mac OS X (tiger and jaguar depending on the Mac for anyone who cares) but I only use them for internet (barely touch it on my XP box after what happened last time), iMovie, itunes, and the occasional old school game from my childhood.
I've got some SUSE 10 disks but haven't really gotten around to installing them yet. I did at least make a 30gig partition for it though.

On my desktop computers im running Mandriva 2006, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Suse.
On my laptop im running Windows xp.

why does no one use Linux on laptops?

Matt555 · 22-08-2006, 10:12 PM

Often because of the problems with WiFi (drivers)

Sorry I had to... it really reminded me of the above....

Mandriva 2006 and XP Home Edition (SP2). I use Mandriva as my preferred OS, but occasionally delve into XP.

I've been trying to get Debian installed on this PC, but damn the installer doesn't see my partitions, only a single drive to format.
