i use mac and linux for working and windows for playing games and producing audio. for some reason i think osx keeps getting worse with each release. in leopard firewire didnt even work correctly.. they had to make a patch for it to work. i hope we will at some point live in a linux/bsd world. the only problem i have with linux is that i cant get all the tools i need for my work running on it. i think a poll would be cool to see how many users use which OS.

haha,., nice to hear some of you also use win on a mac. i love the mac hardware but i kinda don't like the way the OS is developing. OSX is a BSD without root access.(you gotta know tricks for root) kinda lame in my opinion.. I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.

By day I support various variations of XP and 2003 Server, but at home i'm a Slackware kind of guy (Linux). I'm a gamer too, but I prefer consoles for that, can't be arsed with buggering around with PCs at home as well as at work nowadays.
A brand new day is dawning
A light that will anoint thee
A sign from the subconscious
An angel sent to guide me
The searching will be over

Dual boot lappy with Ubuntu & WinXp Sp3 xp side for audio-tinkering and compatibility ubuntu side for nestling into my machine to make real progress hoping that I will be able to make a total shift to *nix computing ;; it always feels cleaner using an opensource box better living through change

I use Mac OsX 10.5 (leopard) I also have a pc with XP pro but I don't use it much. I use Final Cut pro and Logic Express quite a lot and it's only available for mac and I like the Mac os. I never upgrade Os X untill there's at least one patch out. Then it works good  Isn't Ubuntu a country in Africa?  hehehe ––––––

Hi Lorax, are you the same Lorax as on the nook? I decided to make an account here, but I mostly browse the nook.
Anyway I use Linux, I run Slackware. Slackware is the oldest Linux distro that is still actively maintained.

Dual-booting Ubuntu and XP (hate Vista with a passion). I've only begun using Ubuntu very recently. It's driven me quite strongly toward getting my hardware and software in order, and I've never been so amazed with an operating system. I absolutely love open-source! Plus the free chemistry programs available on Ubuntu can be quite useful

Ubuntu kicks ass, definitely. I hate to use the terminal and its commands however. Not because I'm too lazy to learn - I'm an MS-DOS child and pretty accustomed to command lines and terminals. I just think that windows have the advantage of extreme useability; not for me, but for the not-so-computer-inclined people. And such people are easily scared by those dreadful command lines. The more point-and-click Ubuntu gets, the more laymen people will use it. And Ubuntu has done a good job at that. With point-and-click pretty much everything that a simple person wants can be accomplished. One question though; I do not like my dual booting very much and I really need to use some programs on XP. Do you guys know any good XP emulators that can be used on Ubuntu? I had once seen a good XP emulator working on Mac-OS Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here!
