What's your favorite OS?

[AuroraProject]

I'd like to try OS X, but for now its XP.

All time favourite would have to be DOS 6.22.

Man that ruled. Wish I still had the disks for it. Lent them to a friend like 15 years ago.

Well, don't you think it's about time you ask for it back?

Windows XP and 2000 Professional for the moment. I've been playing with Gentoo for a short time and might decide to defect.

Mac OS X for desktops, Palm OS for PDAs.

Currently using Windoze though.

George III or VME2900 at a pinch.

True - Xp is incredibly flaky compared to 2K and 2K fixed a lot of problems in 98.

Yes I have. I've been following it since the beggining, but there is still some stuff missing. However I've already developed some personal projects in it, and I think that Mono will become a great tool.

Although I mostly use Windows 2K (both at home and at work,) Debian Linux would have to be my favorite.

I use it as a file-server for the home network, as well as a music jukebox, with MPD (musicpd.org) providing the audio control. It's a rock-solid system that I hardly ever have to maintain (besides the occasional updates.) Installation was extremely painless.

Windows will always be Blonde of the two, with Debian being the much more mature Brunette. Both I could never do without.

Win2k and FreeBSD.
I've been trying out Slackware lately on my *nix box and it's ok but I don't like it as much as FreeBSD.

What kind of OS does Head-Fi.Org use?

Cool. Now, I am inspired to read the online handbook for FreeBSD 6.0. Ahh, I need another day off from work at BN to learn.

Nothing like Linux.

Great! Something that is totally different. I am up for the learning challenge. If I can setup a reading and studying schedule that only requires one hour per day each week, then I can make progress learning and mastering FreeBSD. I have books ordered through BN for FreeBSD 6.0 Unleashed and RHEL4 / RHFC5 SELinux...and Microsoft Windows Vista. I know, books, sheesh.

BeOS... it's THE OS! Of course, it's long gone, but I wish linux was that easy to use.
