Are there obvious things i'm gonna love/hate about the choice?
Please reply by email & I'll summarize...
thanks in advance,
1. Linux vs OS2 vs NT vs Win95 vs Multics vs PDP11 vs BSD geeks
Every machine and operating system has got its useful
purpose...
I see no point in argueing with people which OS is better, and
which is worse, and what will survive and what wont...
The bottom line is obviously the best OS is the one that make
the end user most productive. Ive used quite a variety of software
from intel, ibm, MS, sun, GNU, DEC/compaq, etc, and everything OS
has got its UPz and DOWnz, so depending on what you want to do with it
yer machine, probably determines what OS you run.
So lets cut to the chase - OS bashing is a waste of time,
and most of the time I'd say the person putting it down just hasn't
seen that particular OS's potential, or should I say speciality....
Hell, Plan 9 has even got some interesting features.. <snicker>
And all PC users know, that no matter what use on a day to day
basis on the PC, that one day you will need to boot good ole ancient
DOS to do something...
3. ATI Mach 64 informations, then ATI vs Diamond vs Miro, Zappa vs Alladin.
4. RMAIL Locked
5. ATI Mach 64 infos requested, ATI vs Diamond vs Miro, Zappa vs Alladin.
7. Perfomance: tar vs ftp vs rsync vs cp vs ?
9. Slackware vs SuSE vs Debian vs Redhat vs ....
10. DOS vs. Windows vs. Mac vs. Unix vs. NS
11. KDE vs. Openlook vs. Xfree86 vs. MetroX vs. CDE
12. Redhat vs Debian vs Yggdrasil vs Caldera vs ...
