What does everyone run for your computing needs?


My answer is Linux... just for the smiple fact that all my servers have always ran linux and I prefer to stick with one solid option instead of dealing in a bunch of things I don't wanna deal with.

    I'm a member of the Church of Microsoft. If there's a Microsoft product for a particular purpose, I'll get it. Pretty much everything I own is Microsoft, unless they don't make that.

    I have to admit there are times when I itch to switch back to Microsoft due to the lack of programs ported for linux. Kind of have a hold on us that way eh?

    Windows has been my choice for years now. I am not much of a linux user for desktop uses. But if I ever bought a server I would go with linux.

    I tried Linux for a while but I have no desire to spend days getting stuff to work and chasing down drivers etc. It was kind of fun to goof around with but I just don't have the patience for it.

    I use Mac OSX for 99% of my work and Windows XP for the rest. I have Windows 7 installed on my Macbook and I have to admit, it looks really, really good.

    I love UBUNTU.
    It never crashes, all drivers were self located, updates perfect every time.\

    Adding Tweetdeck took a bit of extra messin' but, only a moderate amount of inner sanctum work needed.
    I'm tied to Windoze for many programs I got use to.Adobe suite,Sony Vegas,etc.
    UBUNTU Studio had tons of multimedia toys included though.
    I've a HDD loaded with UBUNTU for quick swapping into my Thinkpad T42 and an AMD desktop runs xp and linux and seperate HDD
    I've used Linux several years now and it has been an absolute joy.
