So what’s your favorite OS? Doesn’t necessarily have to be what you’re using right now. I personally have had everything at least up and running on my computer ranging from Winblows 98 to Solaris Unix. My favorite has been Mandrake Linux. I’ve used it off and on since their 6.1 release, and it’s always offered a decently user friendly alternative to windoze. I’m trying Ubuntu right now, but I don’t like it. Despite it’s user friendly interface, it behaves like a beta release. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. XP’s been decent since I’ve found a stable hardware configuration, but it’s given me so much grief with mildly questionable setups that I will forever hate Microsoft.
Mac OS? 🤣
So what’s your favorite?

Mac OS. It does everything I want it to and rarely puts up a fight. The hardware is awesome and things _just work_.
I liked NetBSD when I was running it, it was a pretty cool experience for that year or two. FedoraCore5 has only been a pain in my ass, but I’m not blaming the distro so much as the hardware I’ve been given to run it with. SunOS5.8 hasn’t impressed me yet, but I keep waiting for something to pop up to make it stand out and not suck…it doesn’t help that the main machine I run with that OS has been through it’s paces for far too long and is a total basket case. Server2003 has been good to me, it’s another instance of just working. XP…meh, not bad, not great, ran it for a long long time.
