Question Which OS do you use?

as the thread title says, which OS(operating system) do you use? and why?

I use linux(been using it for a few years, 5-6 i think), and use it cause its flexible/stable and free(except for 2-3 pieces of software that are _worth_ buying
oh and the main distro i use is gentoo, but i've been using debian a bit on my other boxes...and i use Knoppix at college(it's a livecd distro, so basically the whole OS is contained on one bootable cd)

I knew as soon as I saw the thread title that you were a linux user. Only linux and mac users feel the need to promote what they use like they're some elite crew. Heh. Anyways.


I'm just fuckin' with ya.


Windows XP Pro, because I don't care and I never will.

Windows 98.

I don't understand anything that Freezer said, nor do i know anything about any of the options besides Windows and Linux.

Linux: SuSe 9.0, sometimes Debian & Knoppix-STD/WarLinux on the Lapp
W$: Sometimes W2k

By the way, has anyone of the Linux users a Idea if there's a tab editor like GuitarPro for a X System ?
