i would have to agree....but first of all you shouldnt make a poll about two COMPLETELY different OS's..... maybe you could compare XP to win2k....even 98 if u wanna go wild...but its like saying which apple is better when you are trying bananas and oranges....(dum&#33

I guess. I thought leonidas was just asking a simple question. I see no reason why someone can't ask which OS you like, even though they are completely different OSes



WindowsXP for me. Just because Windows was the first OS that I thouched with I first got a computer back in '98.

i prefer WinXP....but i do agree that winxp is for common user and lin00x for servers

No. Maybe one or two for special purposes but for the most part, it's win2k or server 2003 64 bit.

I find most linux OS's both excellent and at the same time, frustratingly ignorant in the complexity of the language and terminology used. If I could find a common english translation for some of it, I'd use it often.
I think the problem stems from the fact that a large part of it has been developed in non english speaking parts of europe and no thought was given to international equivalents. Despite having a fairly good ability to read some foreign languages, I'm a simple country boy, I don't have the time or patience to learn language idiosynchrosy whle trying to operate a program.
Maybe with the addition of some multiple choice wizzards, this might be corrected. As it stands, I always run into a total lack of clear explanation when it's most needed, like at virtual brick wall for example

Wich languages are used in linux?
