    Hi Frnds..

    Most of us are familiar with windows.. but wait have u ever thought how much microsoft is earning for this s h i t OS... the OS that is good for nothing.. Look on the other side of picture... LINUX .. a free source code OS.. U can do anything u want..even u can change the kernel configurations.. make ur OWN kernel and give it ur name.. a robust .. a easily portable.. easily configurable to Real time embedded systems.. (RT Linux) Much less bugs then windows.. more stable then windows.. In such scenario u vote for whom ....


    WINDOWS OR LINUX



    vote above...

    I personally like linux for the stability when compared to windows.

    But, do we have any audio software (equivalent of Cakewalk's Sonar) for linux.

    If yes then I will vote for linux later.

    hokay ...

    thats good ... coz i want every person to have the choice ... of having linux or Windows or Mac

    ya know what i feel that Microsoft has purposefuly "promoted" Windows piracy in India ...
    now that everyone has become sooo dependent on it. ..

    i remember a memorable one here
    NO i dont mean that Windows users are fool ... b4 u jump to any conclusions ... it was just that somehow the quote popped up .. .and i found it humorous ... and a little relevant here ...

    Ya u will face this problem if you r not partitioning the disk properly.. use separate primary partitions for windows n linux.. there r many tools for that.. don't use fdisk utility for dos that doesn't show linux partions.. u can use Part ( a dos based utility) or there is sumthing that comes with linux cd use that.. Put Linux paritions in ext3 format.. I have win XP and Red Hat Linux ES edition running simultaneously...

    same here ... Linux + XP

    XP i keep only for playing games ... coz that is the onli thing i cannot do in Linux :p:

    second thing is that Linux installation itself comes with Disk Druid Partitioner ... u can try using it for Windows Partitioning ...

    anyway to install Linux u need ta create the swap volumes and the ext3 partitions ... for that u have to use the Disk Druid that comes with Linux installer ...

    I am using Win XP with SP2 and IE7 and have not experianced a problem so far. I do a spyware scan every week. I would have tried using linux but haven't got hold of a cd till now. The only error I've received in 2 months is the one Yahoo! Messenger. All apps are compatible with Windows so I'll continue to use it. Anyway, all of you using Linux must be having a dual boot with Windows. If linux is so good then why are you using XP too?
