So what do I run…
Monday, November 26th, 2007With that said… (see previous post)
I use Windows XP Pro as my desktop operating system of choice and haven’t seen the reason to make the move to Vista yet, although I will be investigating more in the near future with Windows Server 2008 looming around the corner. I find myself to be more efficient and comfortable, in a windows desktop environment than I do in either GNOME or KDE, although I feel right at home in a GNOME enviornment. Although Mac was probably the first OS I ever used, I grew up using W indows and it feels like home to me. However, I do tend to run unix-like virtual machines on top of my desktop to allow me some flexibility. Also, I run a dual booting, Windows XP/linux configuration on my laptops. Never know when your gonna need what. I like to keep my options open.
I have run a MacOSX laptop in the past but at the present I have not had the luxury.
On the server side of things, I run both Windows and Unix-Like, depending on the situation, client, customer, requirements, etc. On the Windows side I run Windows Server 2003, of course, in its different flavors. On the Unix-Like side my Linux OS of choice for production is Debian, however I am a linux hobbyist and have ran most major Linux flavors including Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo, Suse, and Redhat based operating systems at one point or another. My BSD of choice for servers is FreeBSD, but I use OpenBSD for the network infrastructure such as routers and firewalls.
Again, I have closed commenting on this page as to not insite a flame war. This is what I run.
