I stick with Windows XP SP2 for the most part. I haven't encountered any major problems yet, but it was a large improvement from using Windows 98 for a few years.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.3.9 and do plan to get the new iMac with the Intel cores soon. :biggrin:

Windows XP Pro SP2 on most of my machines and all my laptops. Two of my linux boxes run Fedora Core 4, but the linux box I mainly use is running Ubuntu 5.10.

At my house, we use Windows 2000. We took this shift maybe a year and a half ago (?) mainly due to us being familiar with how 98 works. XP is just too stylish.

I'm running Windows XP MCE 2005 Roll-Up 2. It's not exactly the most stable OS I've used but its pretty fun to play with. People say MCE isn't very gaming friendly since it focuses mostly on multimedia. I can't tell the difference because I couldn't play games on my old PC which barely ran Windows XP/2000. Since I have two HDDs now I was thinking about installing Windows XP Pro on the other drive and duelboot to see how it would run games compared to MCE. However I'm not sure if its worth all the trouble, because I really like using MCE and the only game I play is World of Warcraft.

For the moment, my desktop has Windows XP home edition, and my laptop has Windows XP Professional SP2. However, I'm debating on whether I should use Linspire Five O or Ubuntu for my desktop's OS in the near future.

I've got Windows XP Pro on one of my computers, and Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. Both of those licenses are free from my school, so that is awesome.
I also have numerous other servers licenses, and about 3 other xp pro ones, but one is being used by a friend of mine, so I guess I only have 2 available.

Currently.. CentOS.. until I get a new computer and it'll be Gentoo

vincent_ray21 Mar 4, 2006 10:08 AM

Windows XP, ubuntu Linux. Waiting until intel based mac OS is available.

Shadow Drax Mar 4, 2006 05:15 PM

Windows XP Pro and the latest version of Ubtuntu. Thinking about switching distros again though, every one I try has at least one major annoyance (ie, Ubuntu doesn't like my soundcard. Neither does Fedora Core 4. Debian seems to think I have no hard drives! One day, I'll find one that works...!)

Has anyone tried running an OS on a console? I'm curious to see how Linux would run on a Dreamcast...

I do remember hearing about that sometime in the past, this is what google turned up though. Pretty Cool. :)

I wonder if twm is the only window manager that will run on that distro. If so, that's a tad bit depressing. Though, I suppose, it's not meant to look nice; it's a proof of concept.

I ought to try it out with a friend's Dreamcast...

On my oldest computer (1.3 ghz), I use Windows 2000, pretty stable for me.
On my desktop (3.2 ghz), I have a dual-boot with Windows XP Professional and SUSE Linux 10.
On my laptop, I have Windows XP Home, but I plan on upgrading it to Pro sometime soon.

Arainach Mar 4, 2006 11:33 PM

Desktop: Gentoo Linux, Windows XP
Laptop: Gentoo Linux
Fileserver: Gentoo Linux

Windows 2000 (Professional Edition) at work.

ouch Mar 5, 2006 12:13 AM

I got winXP at work, but don't like it much.

Hmm, this is what I like about the Dreamcast, it's so much more hackable than any other console system. Too bad I lack the DC cable modem, the I could try GFF on a Dreamcast...

Of course, Xbox Linux and Gamecube Linux and PS2 Linux exist, too.

Yes but I would need to mod my PS2 to play the game. Or order the discontinued official PS2 Linux distro, and the latter option would cost me over $150 on eBay.

gaming rig: Windows XP sp2 and ubuntu 5.10 - Same as Shadow Drex, ubuntu just won't use my soundcard. It'll make sounds but it'll make your ears bleed. Right now I'm checking out Debian and Berry Linux.
server: Windows XP sp1 (for now)
laptop: Windows XP sp2
old computer that I consider a backup (P3 600MHz): Windows 2000 sp4

Slash Mar 5, 2006 05:40 AM

Laptop -- XP Media Center SP2
Big PC -- XP SP2
Baby Cube -- XP SP2

Nothing flashy as far as OS'es go.

Blue Krillin Mar 5, 2006 11:04 AM

I have been using Windows ME and just recently upgraded to XP. So far, I'm no too impressed. Maybe it's because I liked the simplicity of ME. :fish:

Rocca Mar 5, 2006 11:05 AM

Xperience because it works just fine.
