Im trying to get a picture of what sort of *ix users we have at this messageboard.
The best way is to find out how passionate y'all are about your *ix platform.
So here's a quick query:
1. What O/S are you currently running as your primary?
2. What secondary O/Ss are you running?
3. What distribution/version of your fav. OS are you running?
4. Emacs or Vi?
5. Mozilla, Galeon, Lynx or Konquerer?
6. Which window manager/s?
7. For all of the above, WHY?
Let me go through mine:
1. Linux 2.4
2. Windows (not really secondary, they both do their fair share).
3. Debian for Linux, 2000 for Windows.
4. Vi
5. Mozilla & Galeon
6. Wmaker
7:
1. 2.4 kernel comes with many drivers the 2.2 kernels didnt have good support for. This includes the winbond driver and cs426x sound drivers.
2. Windows has programs like kazaa, dreamweaver and computer games. I dun wanna use VMWare, too expensive.
3. I fell in love with Debian right after using
mandrake. I'll always be a big forgiving towards mandrake because it showed me linux, however I can only work on debian now. It has everything I love and nothing I dont. e.g. apt-get.
4. Emacs makes no ------- sense. key combinations galore. Vi/m however has a range or simple, easy to remember commands that make editing a file quick, easy and smooth.
5. Mozilla comes with a mail program and I have used it since the early days. However Galeon loads faster and is simply more conveniant to use. admittedly there isnt too much difference between 'em, but I usually use mozilla for working on my website, testing various files, and checking email. Whereas I use galeon for tasks like viweing animeboards.
6. Wmaker is simply the nicest and greatest window manager. GNOME and KDE I used back in the earlier days of Mandrake and they were resource hogs. Thus, I never forgave them because I always had a lower end machine. Wmaker however is so ------- fast. Instant load, runs nearly every program from KDE or GNOME, conveniantly has multiple screens and a nice layout. Im a sentimental guy, and wmaker pulled me through the days of low ram and ---- cpu.
