*nix thread

[thch 10+ year member]

anyone else here use any variety of *nix on a daily basis? i myself use GNU linux (gentoo). though i am looking into a different version of GNU linux (debian).

in anycase there are a lot of varieties out there:

OSX

GNU-Linux

GNU-Herd

FreeBSD

OpenBSD

NetBSD

OpenSolaris

Solaris10

AIX

my roomate is looking into GNU-Herd becuase he wants to do work with a microkernel. I'm looking into switching to debain myself, and maybe learning a bit about opensolaris.

Slackware... I was thinking of switching to Debian but I have a 56k and don't feel like downloading 8 disks. Slackware is nice but it doesn't have an apt like system. I wanted to install DVD::RIP but there are some deps and those deps have deps and those also have deps and... Well you get it.

i'm thinking of going to debian from gentoo. but just realized that debain still uses xfree and has only just recently put xorg into the unstable branch. that means in about 3 years xorg will make it into debian stable...

i originally switched because i got 4 virii within a year and such was too much. further i don't really trust MS enough to automatically update my computer.

recently i put winXP (legal, free) on my computer. it sorta works. i put the new version of directX on, and now i can't play some of my games... so i've mainly switched back to linux.

I use windows XP now mainly, but was a hardcore slackware user for a while. I do like linux but at the same time, i gotta have my windows ;/

I would like to try out a *bsd such as freebsd or netbsd.... i guess that will come later
