So, more often than not, speedcubers are deemed geeks.
Also, more often than not, Linux is considred a geeky thing.

I was wondering what OS you guys use? Anyone use Linux.. if so, what distro?
Who out there uses Windows/Mac OS X or something else (other than linux,mac os x or windows) :o

My main 'desktop' uses Mac OS X, but my netbook uses Arch Linux.

^ That's not really what an OS is, unless you were assuming he would assume...

Umm
On my PC I have Vista, with an ubuntu Backup, so If I can't get on to windows I can still get my files, etc... it happened before and it saved me 1 year worth of files already.

On My macbook I have Ubuntu 8.10, Leopard, and Xp Pro.
 
In my ATARI 520 ST I got TOS 1.2 in ROM and TOS 2.0 on disk, the GUI is GEM (also avaiable for PC's).

My Spectravideo 318 has got Microsoft Extended BASIC up front but in the background it uses CP/M

Have not got a clue about the system used in the Sinclair ZX81 :P

which reminds me...
i blew a psu in my personal pc (PC1), then bought a replacement and put that in. i had to take everything out, and then reconnect the whole thing. i forgot to put the backplate panel on (if that matters). because im an idiot, i thought that it would be a good idea to fill the last RAM slot with some DDR from the PC im using now (PC2). obviously, xp didnt like this. because im a really, really big idiot, i didnt bother to connect it to the internet and reactivate it (my wireless reciever had broken). so now, PC1 boots, but needs reactivating, yet when i plug it into the wireless router (ethernet or USB) xp doesnt recognise a connection to the internet, and if you connect a USB device (say, an ipod shuffle), then the lovely ipod breaks. (:()

SOOOO, could i take the HD out of PC1, and put it in PC2, copy over all the data i need (its in a seperate partition i think) to PC2s HD, then format HD1, reinstall xp on HD1 back in PC1, then put all of the data back?

this is assuming that i reinstall all the components in order to put the backplate on, and double check the internal USB connections to make sure theyre on correctly.

im sorry for such a long post, ive just had a none-working pc for ages now, and its really annoying me :(
 
I only have me Desktop Pc. It's Windows XP Professional. Here in Malaysia not many people use Apple but the number is rising though. I think there are only a handfull amount of people here that use any other OS than Windows and Macintosh.
 
My desktop's running on Fedora. My laptop (which I generally use for gaming) runs on XP pro.
 
Desktop: PC with XP, Vista (used to have Ubuntu 8.10, installed via Wubi)
Laptop: MacBook with OS X (duh!), Vista, Ubuntu 8.10.

I use Ubuntu. My whole family does. That's more than one handful already, literally.
