Stop using Windows XP. It's visual look will slow your PC down like heck (unless you disable it) and it has the worst security features, EVER. Even Mac OSX is better. Windows 2000 Professional is the best. Much more stable than WinXP because Win2K runs off of the WinNT Core, and WinNT is the most stable OS EVER. Sure, some say taht WinXP & Win2K have the same core, but they don't. The underlying concepts in the design of both is very different. I have Windows 2000 Professional on one 80GB Western Digital hard drive, & of course, Fedora Core 3 Linux on my Maxtor 20GB. SuSE is the suck. Use Fedora. |

Sigh. Such noobness. 1) If you think the theming engine slows things down, don't use it. However, some of us don't have computers made in 1999, so we actually have the 8MB of video card RAM required :rolleyes: 2) Worst security ever? Relatively speaking, I suppose. But it's not like that means j00 will be h4x0red if you use Windows. I've used it for a long time... funny how I've never gotten a virus, gotten any passwords stolen, &c. 3) 2K Pro is stable, it's true. But guess what? XP runs off EXACTLY the same core, except with MORE fixes. Hint: check the version numbers on the kernel. NT4 is 4.0. 2K is 5.0. XP is 5.1. Revision increment only. Huge chunks of the code are the same. WinNT is not the most stable OS ever, even though it is definitely up there. One of the *BSDs is probably the most stable AND secure. Too bad *BSDs are pains to run. This is just blatantly false; you have zero clue what you're talking about. Fedora is the second worst Linux distro I have ever used. Bloated (have you SEEN how many services start at boot by default?) and slow. Mandrake was worse, but I forgive it because it's trying to be noob-friendly. Ubuntu is the best distro I have ever used; I think Debian children are just fantastic. SuSE offers EXTREMELY broad hardware compatibility, as well as bleeding-edge features (Beagle is even in 9.3; you won't find that in any other distro). Research first, please. |

Are you saying everybody that can't get allong with a Linux distro right away it a n00b? in your eyes? If so, I will now start disliking you for finding me a n00b :angry: If thats not what you mean, just ignore above. |

Nope, I'm saying that it tries to be helpful and have tools for everything, programs for everything, here a wizard there a button everywhere some bling-bling. That is great for some people. Not what I want though. Mandrake has its place in the Linux world just like all the rest though
