      Red Hat Linux 7.1.

      Because I like penguins and it makes me feel like a true geek.

                Why do you use...

                Win2K?

                Is it cause 98 doesn't have enough digits that 2000 does in respect to how many times in the last year you've changed and or reinstalled OS's?

                Just a pickin (and a grinnin!)

                        W2K

                        Windows 2000 Professional:
                        Sounds better, looks better, is faster and more stable than every Windows OS...even the HD makes less noise. Great OS, I´ll never install W98 again.

                          According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

                            Win2k Pro on my PC at home and work - purely because it is extremely stable and fast (once given enough RAM). Also got win2k pro on my dad's machine for the stability.

                            My brother's machine runs winme as he plays games.

                            My server runs NT4 Server because its RAID controller isn't supported by Win2k.

                            My 2nd PC runs winme just so that I have another OS apart from Win2k to play with (esp for beta'ing the matrox drivers and also so that the RR-G TV tuner works properly )

                            Oops - forgot:

                            Notebook runs win2k nicely for performance and stability.

                            Servers at work run win2k server on new machines and NT4 Server on older machines. Because I hate all incarnations of Unix/Linux and want it to be wiped off the planet!

                              Main PC - Win2k/98 (Would switch to Win2k totaly if I could get drivers for my 2 printers )

                              Test PC 1 - Win2k AS/NT 4.0 Server/Win98

                              Test PC 2 - Netware 4.2/Netware 5.1

                              Laptop - Win2k/98
