i used to use windows but imo it isnt the safest of tools.
i now use gentoo linux and have done for quite a while,once you get use to the differences linux is twice the speed of any windows OS everything is free aswell which makes it even better,no viri,no spyware either

Ohh!! I have never really been on one before, I have only every been on a windows pc or a couple of times a mac which I really cannot get the hang of!!

Tom x!

I'm amazed, Tom, you helped me so much with my problems on my Mac! Thought you knew it inside out....and it's supposed to be so much more user-friendly than a PC!

Erin · 16-04-2007, 10:58 PM

Yeah its very different...very very! Different file systems, for example, on linux we dont have 'My Computer' we have /dev/hda lol that would be your C: drive for example.....strange huh?

Anyways, Linux isnt quite as complex as mac, it does share the same things though, ie. a console program for command line instruction, little bit like DOS, but called BASH (bourne again shell) Its good, deffinatly reccomend it to any computer/programmer enthusiast!

Tom · 16-04-2007, 11:01 PM

Ohhh will have to have a think! I hope to learn more about this kind of thing in later years ie uni and stuff!!

Hehe Eileen!! I get the basic idea of how they work but on principle i can relate to windows when trying to explain ie
