5. Which computer ? The fastest, slowest, smallest, biggest, oldest, newest? |
|
We have the three main ones in our house.
Linux for all the heavy lifting (firewall, servers, penetration testing, etc), windows on a couple of desktops/laptops for misc "windoz only stuff", and a couple of iBooks with OSX. The majority of systems are Linux which I guess is the point of the poll.

8. If you're running Windows, you're actually running DOS. |

Windows is the lipstick on a pig.

15. Not if you're running Win 2000 or newer. |
|
2000/XP/2003/etc have a "command prompt" available in Windows but it's not DOS.

17. I guess all Linux users just have Unix installed with no GUI. |
|
Given that type of logic..

22. No, it's close but they share no code. OSX is a flavor of |
|
UNIX with the GUI UNIX dreamed of.

10. Five Linux boxes running 24/7 |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 05:49 PM by longship
All connected to the Net 24/7. No viruses. No spyware. Just reliability.
It might not be perfect, but it sure is good.
Three boxes running Gentoo (AMD Athlon 64 X2, VIA C3, AMD Duron), one Debian (P4), one custom Red Hat (StrongARM NetWinder). The NetWinder has been up continuously, with few reboots, for about seven years. That's reliability.

13. I remember that stuff. |
|
Ran it on an Osborne with a Z-80 processer, 64 k RAM & 2 single-density single-sided 90k floppies. The CRT display musta been all of 5 inches diagonally. Hell, I wrote a book in WordStar on that machine.

16. Yup, I had one too until I moved up to TurboDOS |
|
If I recall, the Z-80 was the souped up model.
