Novell Linux, Mac, PC

Novell Marketing Video for Linux playing on the popular Mac vs PC videos. What is Linux? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux Some points for Linux off the top of my head: - Free (as in speech). I have the freedom to tweak the system as I wish. - DRM Free - Superior method of software updates, installation - Solid stability (servers I run have been up for 1+yrs, my desktop 1+ month) - Can scale down to very old/obscure hardware (I have a Linux file server running an old 266, 24MB ram - Virtually Spyware/Virus free - Variety of system tools not available in Windows. Extensive programming interface. - Very cool eye-candy ahead of other Operating systems. Youtube search "compiz", see the upcoming KDE, see the current version of Gnome. - I know exactly what my computer is doing. Can't say the same thing with Windows, OS X - Although I agree gaming is lacking, I personally don't game on PC but what I do see is the amazing benefit of being able to have access to the thousands of OSS packages out there. - Luxury of using technology backed up by contributions and usage by companies such as IBM, HP, Sun, Google, many governments, military orgs, NASA, universities, super computer research. Outside the desktop Windows presence is not the greatest. - Constant updates to all my software. You can choose to run cutting edge or run stable. - Ability to decide what to install and what not to (can't say the same thing about XP) - Freedom of not depending on one single vendor. I know my needs will not be put aside by the needs of a corporation anytime soon. - Decades of solid tested UNIX (like) technology (see OS X benefits, not XP though) - The ability take a part in the development process of the OS I use. - Oh, did I mention it's free as in beer?

Obviously it was grewboi's fault. I can't see how you could fuck up an Ubuntu install without actively asking the installer to "please repartition and reformat everything. I don't want to see any of my files again."

I accidentally a whole OS, is this bad?

winconfig (Monday 1st of September 2008 06:47:36 AM)

there is a dichotomy here. The funny thing is that mac does in fact now run a unix based os, and mac also uses code from other linux distros for their operating system - like bsd, for their file system management. So even if mac were running it's own os it would be safe for mac to sat it's runnung linux...

BSD is Unix based not Linux based. That does not really add any benefit to using Mac OS X though.

winconfig (Tuesday 2nd of September 2008 07:28:08 PM)

i never thought i would be right and wrong at the same time! Thanks for the correction... but mac still is a killer os.

OMG o.O that much!!!, WTF is in that monster.... two quad core xeon spiced with 16gb of ddr3 ram at 1200mhz with three nasty HD4870.... WTF you need a computer like that.... you can buy one at alienware :P, well, not two xeon but a super OCed liquid cooled xtreme core2quad yes.

YakFest (Sunday 31st of August 2008 09:11:53 PM)

Heh, it would really only be good if you were interested in Hollywood grade editing. A lot of it would be spent on software too. Most top priced alienwares are not worth the money. A 5k laptop I was looking at actually had a hardware setup that was completely overkill and it would never be able to fully utilize itself... but then again, you're buying it mainly for the name so why not buy it to say "my computer is completely overkill" as well. :P
