Poll question: What operating system does your computer run?

[NJ Democrats]

1. Windows

[mike_c]

2. I have several computers and they run several different OS's...

...so I can't reply without a "several of the above" option.

[Idioteque]

3. At the moment, Ubuntu Linux Daper Drake n/t

[Catchawave]

4. There's a difference between OS and ISP ?

Good Gawd ! I'm hopeless :silly:

[harpo]

6. yep...

os=operating system...the thing that comes up when you turn your computer on.
isp=internet service provider...the folks that give you access to the internets

[Catchawave]

21. Thanks!

So my OS is Windows XP and my ISP is AOL. Got it :hi:

[harpo]

24. you got it

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.

[high density]

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.

[Beelzebud]

17. I guess all Linux users just have Unix installed with no GUI.

Given that type of logic..

[alfredo]

22. No, it's close but they share no code. OSX is a flavor of

UNIX with the GUI UNIX dreamed of.

[Finder]

9. Several of the choices. n/t

[longship]

10. Five Linux boxes running 24/7

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.

11. Where is CP/M in the choices?

[harpo]

12. not enough space

[Jackpine Radical]

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.

[corkhead]

16. Yup, I had one too until I moved up to TurboDOS

If I recall, the Z-80 was the souped up model.

Yes, Floppy Disks the size of pizza boxes

[harpo]

19. I loved the huge floppies :)

I thought they were the SHIAT at the time!

[Old and In the Way]

18. I remember those.....

they were the first 'laptop' machines, I think. :-) real cutting edge, way back when..

[LSK]

[BiggJawn]
