Anyone else use Ubuntu?

[MagpieMariner]

I use redhat for production servers and fedora for development servers and thats enough linux for me  :-\

Reasons for using it as a web server are basically it is more stable, quicker and secure (out of the box) than windoze, but that's only when we're running it as a web server. Interested in the reasons for switching to linux on a home pc though...

I am switching (slowly) because firstly it's a lot cheaper than Windoze, and so are the applications.
I also wanted to try something new - I don't do business at home, it's just a hobby.

Don't worry Alicia. It is generally accepted that those who make these sort of allegations are generally repressing "happy" feelings themselves.

Uh nah.
I guess you could add "girls" to the list of people that use macs. (let's not turn this into another sexist claim thread).
FFC if you're intent on apple software but not the hardware you're able to install an illegal version of the mac software on a standard pc. But of course I do not condone the use of illegal software...
You can also have windoze installed on another hardrive and get the best out of both worlds in terms of software.

Can't stand Apple - not sure why. Just prefer Microsoft for some reason.

We got a new PC just after they stopped releasing XP with the new PC's, so we got stuck with Vista - stupid piece of crap. So we had XP on one harddrive & Vista on the other.


MS Office 2007 I really like. I'm a big excel freak. So many possibilites in that program! I even went so far to teach myself advanced Macro's (un-necessarily - but it did get me top marks in the Business Computing class!).

Its all depends what you are going to use it for. In my last job we did a LOT of video editing, music editing and photo shop and had to archive images etc.  So the Mac worked really well for it, and it was very easy to use.

For the more admin, spreadsheet etc, I just prefer PC's. Can't really say why.
