OS to use - GoFuckYourself.com

Libertine · 10-08-2002, 03:38 PM

Just bought myself a new pc, and still in doubt which operating systems to put on it.
So far, I think I'm gonna use Win2K, RedHat and Debian. Any other suggestions?

You're installing both redhat and debian? I do not understand your reasoning.

Wait for redhat 8

RedHat 8, aka Psyche is out already

Yeah it depends on what you want to do , but RedHat and Linux now have all kinds of cool software that is just like windows. If you dont need to be stuck with proprietary windows stuff I would use RedHat 8, otherwise I would say dual boot RH 8 & Win2k.

redhat is more userfriendly (= easy to use), and I plan to use it for everyday stuff. however, many people I know say debian is better, so I'm gonna give that a try as well.

Sounds like you want to practice Unix. Consider loading FreeBSD.

salsbury · 10-08-2002, 11:42 PM

i recommend FreeBSD, too, for learning UNIX. BSD is pretty much a defacto "standard", whereas Linux is all over the place, no one standard used consistently. plus, FreeBSD is more stable (or at least, is easier to make stable).

Win 2k professional is the best OS alongwith that you can have RH8

"Win 2k professional is the best OS"

FreeBSD with KDE Desktop.

if you want to install a Windoze use W2k..... W9x are just too unstable.... Win ME just really sux... with Win XP you only have problems....

Libertine · 10-09-2002, 06:54 AM

Was planning to run win2k, I'd rather shoot myself than use ME (my gf uses it, and it has the funny feature of putting back viruses after you remove them).
I primarily need windows for visitors (e.g. girlfriend) who use my computer, and they wouldn't have the slightest idea how to use other os. Plus, I sometimes have (freudian typo: typed hate instead of have) to program for windows, which I prefer to do in the real windows

I was actually in doubt about either using debian or freebsd (was planning openbsd first, but their recent problems kinda scared me off) alongside with windows and redhat. Any suggestions?
