HMT Linux users?
 

just out of curiousity, is anybody else on hmt cruizin the forums on mozilla or konqueror web browser?

i decided some time ago that im sick of seeing "*insert windows program* has encountered an error and you are fucked, would you like to send an error report to microsoft?" i still use windows xp though about half the time for ---- that only runs well on windows machines.

Re:HMT Linux users?

Re:HMT Linux users?

lol... those are the names of web browsers, not os's.

and as far as xp, yeah, its cool. its alot better than any other windows os. however, it just drives me ------- insane when im in the middle of something and then all of a sudden xp decides to close down my program and i lose all of my data. this happens with internet exploder, any office xp program, windows media player...etc. ive tried starting over from scratch a few times(use a utility to write all 0's across the whole drive, then format ntfs and install windows). i have all the service packs/updates. i also have a good computer that i personally built 2.5 ghz p4 w/ 1024mb memory and all the nice bells and whistles. there is no good reason why my computing experience should be interuppted so much. granted, i do alot of ---- on my computer that alot of people dont do, but still.

that plus the fact that im also a (currently out of work) network tech. i have alot of experience with windows and novell, but linux is a weak point for me. i figure if i use linux at home i am bound to become familiar with it.

My bad. :-[ I don't know ----.

I haven't had too many of those error's, except when I'm doing stupid ---- that I shouldn't be or when I have to use "ctrl, Alt, delete". I guess I don't use my computer for more than just surfing the web so I wouldn't have a use for anything else. :-\

I use opera while in linux. it seams to do better. im not liking winxp much or any windows but its watever you are use to.

Re:HMT Linux users?
 

thats wierd i have xp pro and the only progs that ever crash are ---- ass stuff that people make. ive never had a problem with any big time programs.

never any problems with visual studio/visual studio.net/java sdk/office xp... not really anything.

Re:HMT Linux users?
 

IE all you use is microsoft products.. i would HOPE they would work with the OS. I jsut dont liek the feel of windows peroid. remember its a personal preferance. SUSE uses most windows software that i would need anyway. (IE it can run office, etc etc etc)

Re:HMT Linux users?
 

all those other OS's are great for a change, but myself like most people dont want to ---- around with stuff.

java isnt a microsoft deal :P

name some programs off that crash xp for anyone and ill see if i have problems ever.

adobe ---- really isnt a microsoft deal, never have prbs with it

Re:HMT Linux users?
 

lets see, explorer, file manager, outlook (both full and express) exel, media player, MSN, works, that is off the top of my head, its not like im making a log of this ----. I heat win 2003 is suposto be a hell of alot better than anyhting they hae put out before. and i have had no problems with java in linux either ;)
