digip Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I will say it. WINDOWS! Use whatever gets the job done, and whatever you like. Personally, I like Windows 7 and I just run most Linux distros in a VM inside windows. I have BT4R2 installed natively on my laptop dual booting Windows 7 and BT, but seriously, all OS's fail to some degree, including Apple OSX, but they all have their strengths as well. The flame war of what OS is better is silly, old, and tired, and we already have threads like this one that discuss the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cooper Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 At work it is Red Hat, their Red Hat Network web interface that lets you keep track of which of your servers hasn't updated yet is great. At home I use Debian, mainly because that is the one I have used for over 10 years. I have tried others at times but always end up coming back to Debian. Personally I don't think that there is any Linux distro that is the best just ones that you know the best. If it doesn't have the software/driver that you want then you can always compile it yourself from the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1k Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Kanotix Aptosid both Debian derivative.... but with something more. I do use also Xp,hate Vista and Seven slows down my pc... so back to Xp for the Win side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 on the server side Linux has no rival; my fav is Debian; Linux hasn't yet conquered the desktop; that's where I say Windows XP/7 still rule; I don't know about Apple's Mac OS X; might be a very good candidate coming back to Linux, Linux has mastered servers, and super-computers; in the top500.org listing of super computers, 90% are Linux based; Linux has mastered embedded devices, phones (Android currently owns the major market share), even though user experience is still not quite as good as Apple's yet; Linux's kernel is indeed the most advanced piece of software ever written; it's the user experience that's still not quite there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh1t3 and n3rdy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Arch Linux for the desktop. I have a macbook but have a few different Linux VM's on it. Linux certainly does have a rival in the server arena, UNIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
