I just got Linux SuSE. It's great. Are you guys Mac bashers?

iago

Mac is great.  Windows has been copying Mac for like 18 years, but they're always a step behind.

The difference is that Microsoft is extremely good at marketing.  And as long as the major software companies keep making software for Windows, and the hardware companies keep making drivers for Windows, people are going to keep using Microsoft products.

Incidentally, I am extremely happy that Doom 3 was released for Linux.  Not that I like Doom 3, but now two of the major games (Quake 2 [I think] and Doom 3) have Linux ports.  This means that companies are finally realizing that there IS a market on Linux.

All Linux users are pirates and just steal all their software anyway!!!

I don't have a single piece of pirated software on Linux, there's no need for it.

The only thing I'd like to have (I'm considering buying) is VMWare Workstation, so I can run a virtual Windows machine to play games on.  But I'm in no rush to get that.

Did you buy your SuSE?
Novell is releasing 9.2 during the first part of November.  I will be purchasing my copy of Pro as soon as it's ready.  :)

I downloaded it.
Man my uncle is so lucky. He owns a computer store and just got a new Powerbook 15". It's so sweet. He just gave his son (my cousin) his G5.  Dual 2.0GHz 27" Apple Monitor. WOoo it's so sweet. Ya I used to have the old iMac G4. In a couple years I am going to get a powerbook.

Well, I want some too. Greedy Yoni should stop hogging it.

OS X Tiger looks great.

iago

My OS choice has nothing to do with appearance, it's about speed and functionality.  I love racing my Windows computer (2.8ghz) and Linux computer (800mhz) on simple tasks and seeing Linux consistantly win :-)

I like racing my brothers, just to find out the skinnier one always wins.

QuotePaying for Linux -- that's blasphemy!

I don't consider it as much "Paying for Linux" as I do "Paying Novell's lawyers".  Helping pay the attorney fees in their fight with SCO makes me feel better.  I also just bought 6 IBM workstations for a client.  :)
