I love Linux , evry1 should try it
I'll go for redhat or slack
well, i have on my pc windows xp pro and fedora core 2.... i prefer using win xp, since im not that familiar with linux, but soon am going to use linux a lot... every1 is advising me to switch to *nix
i'm in the same situation as Charly, i would like to use linux, but since i'm not familiar with it, I have to you ms windows.
u cant just find a normal computer user working on Linux... normal computer users work on windows.. programmers and hackers (not crackers) prefer working on linux, since it's open source, and the programming on it is much better
well in a month or 2 I'll have another kumputer and it will be *nix only
r u a member of the LLUG?
no no
y not? lot of peeps who use linux dont like to join the LLUG, weird thing..
yeah .. well i'm one of them
i think our curiosity, as geeks involves us in linux. I mean windoze doesn't have anything to configure, to personalise, to understand whilst in linux, u can undersatand anything happening since it's open-source and very flexible.
You can even make you own distribution according to you own likings and needs:

LINUX RULEZ
oh! BTW Charly r u a member of the LLUG?
I SHOULD START USING A MAC !!!
hbiloowa ba3ed .. wow shu cool you use linux while all the other idiots use microsoft ...
hmm comparison ...
an OS made by a highly funded company
or half an OS mae by some idiot with a penguin as a logo
hmmmm definitely penguin
the only real comparison is windows vs mac
mac is more stable and definitely plug and play no need for drivers etc.. its even more professional
but windows is more pop and many ppl use it
oh! BTW Charly r u a member of the LLUG?
no im not...but i visit #linuxlb on freenode sometimes for help
if you asked a year ago i would've answered windows , but ow that i have a unix administration course at uni , i feel in love with unix.or at least the configurations and tp i've done so far. it's quite interesting.

1st by saying that linux is highly funded company that meens that microsoft hasn't any cash dam dude microsft is the biggest company every moneywhiz
2nd linux is an os and it can be compared facing to any os
3rd it's not an idiot penguin it's THE DUDE so calm down hien it's not that if you don't use linux it's not that good .... heheh
unforgiven: ever wondered why more than 95% of the internet servers worldwide are Linux-based ? I rest my case.
what's the big fuss about Linux in this forum? use it and shut up!
a Linux section has been created, but we're in need of linux pros that are willing to help us maintain it :) .

i think i'll go for windows

not really ... once you come to realise that usually servers aren't as much demanding on the graphics/user interface* point of view you'd realise that windows is not in need ...... plus it's cheeper
* this is what makes windows far better than linux as an OS
but anyway since you are all tr00 geeks i guess the sound thing to say would be that linux is better than windows and all that... so have it your way and i'll have it mine ....
windows cheaper ? linux == free.

Please work with linux as a server for some time then come back to preach the benefits of windows.
Several small things make linux better at server tasks. More then one time I was working on linux and thought "wow, I wouldn't have this in windows for sure". I dont want to go into a list, it's hard to explain, but I can tell you about some major differences:
-When there is a problem with linux, you dig down and find it and fix it. With windows the standard procedure is: reinstall.
-With windows you start working pretty fast. With linux you'll have some frustrating and time consuming learning to do before making it work.
-If you need an additional feature in windows prepare yourself to shell out some money (or to live without it). With linux, prepare yourself to read some documentation.
I think linux will stay the server system of choice for knowledgeable system administrators, those who are not afraid to get their hands dirty (and who probably have no social life). Either linux or one of it's specialised distribution... they are building some systems based on linux for routers, etc...
