Any linux users here?

yeah I run both windows and linux I use linux for most every thing mainly the net coz its alot safer and I find faster. I'm running Ubuntu by the way. windows I only use for games which i find I don't really have time for these days

i use ubuntu- it was really simple to set up. My wireless was easier to get up and running compared to windows and things download a hell of a lot faster on it. The only downside to it is ati havent made a decent graphics card driver so anything 3d is usually pretty dodgy in it. Damn lack of support by major corporations!

Also if you're a bigpond user, look in their file library. They've got a few versions of ubuntu to download including a very cool 'ultimate' edition that has a ton of preinstalled software to get you up and running in no time!

cheers guys may download a version tonight.

Do it. The ultimate version sounds really good. BTW it's just about impossible to get ntfs working under windows so if you want to share data put it in a FAT32 partition.

One cool thing i like about linux is if you have an old computer you set it up to work as a server. It emulates a windows server and you can save data to it like a normal one. Windows doesn't see any difference but it saves it to a linux partition.

Another cool thing to look at is myth tv. I'm working on media portal at the moment (runs under windows xp).

gentoo - this is like the buffet of operating systems.... ONLY what you want, ONLY what you need... you make it yourself and you have only you too blame...

personally? Windows is the only choice i have these days... linux's incompatability is too frustating so i just saty with windows... besides, no enough about how it works and you can make windows useable anyway... really.. it aint that bad... just cranky sometimes...
