    XP pro on the desktop, along with Gentoo Linux. Vista home basic on my laptop. Gentoo on my print/web server.

    laptop: dual boot ubuntu/XP
    desktop: dual boot ubuntu/DSL
    other: DSL on 128MB pen drive for random exploits
    I'm not creative enough to think of a funny sig. Just quietly laugh to yourself and I'll be happy.

    My new laptop runs Vista, I use it it works fine generally except I have bad wireless on certain networks. On my gaming machine I run XP. It's more stable and customizable for the time being. I tried Vista for a while but it kept crashing my video drivers which is a no-go for gaming. My secondary laptop I use XP, it cannot run Vista and I want it as fast as possible. I use Linux for various projects and machines like severs.

    XP and OS X at the moment. Used Ubuntu for a while some # of months back but since school started I've been using XP. I think i might have formatted my linux drive since i was thinking of installing Arch.

    The main stumbling block for linux w/ me was that i couldn't figure out how to get java and what not working on linux. Im sure it probably wasn't that hard but i was feeling lazy and i had it all already working under XP from last semester.

    Mainly using XP right now... I have Ubuntu 7.04 on here, but it doesn't get much use, mostly because I don't have the time to work out the kinks in the wireless. I downloaded 8.04 RC1 and tried the LiveCD version of it, and it detected my wireless out-of-the-box. I couldn't connect, but it's a start.
    RIP Bucko

    XP Home for gaming, Vista (which I hate) on my laptop, Ubuntu on my server and Geexbox on my jukebox build.

    Which reminds me, I need to do a bit of work on the jukebox.

    No, sorry, it's against the rules. Not TBCS rules, not my rules, just "The Rules."

    The Rules aren't written anywhere. They're just there. Like those invisible walls (I keep walking into) placed by mimes but they're placed by no one.
