  What to choose?I had WinXp with WinME (on two separated partitions). When I upgraded ME to Win2000, it screwed up WinXP somehow. I'm thinking about using only one operating system on my mech, but I don't know what to chose. What is more secure? XP or 2000?
Any other dis- and advantages which could decide? _________________ ++ |

Xp
Unless your running some kinda of a server, you would be stupid to take 2000 over xp. _________________ Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship. |

I won't leave 2k so easy. My mech finally breath freely. Only possibility of security issues can change my mind.
So? _________________ ++ Last edited by RB on Mon Jan 31, 2005 2:51 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

xp is a better overall O/S, in my opinion. At least once you turn off all the retarded prettiness and make it look more like win2k. 2k just runs slow, imo, especially boot times. XP is alot snappier.
The hard part about xp is tweaking it to operate properly (which is kinda part of my website). You can think of XP as an enhanced version of win2k, since it runs off the NT kernel too. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

*BSD is not Linux, it's an Unix flavour.

I could've sworn FreeBSD ships with X-Windows. And what's with the hangup on a gui? GUIs aren't necessary...in fact, in many cases they can be a hindrance. They're certainly rough on memory and cpu usage. Bah....you guys are GUI bigots.

Mandrake does come with a GUI. Am i right i saying that when you say "free download" its actually a limited trial?

Last time I downloaded Red Hat it was free. But that was about a year ago.

All of it is free. That's part of the open-source world...the source code has to be made freely available. If the source is free, then someone, somewhere will compile it into binaries for you (usually the company giving out the source). The way they make money is selling the stuff on CD, bundling it with support of some sort (phone, tech, software, etc) and stuff like that.
IE, anything that says 'Free' is free...no time limit, no limitations, nothing. Any 'pay' version has some sort of value-added something or other, like tech support or dedicated download servers or books or whatever. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |
