Before you post "oh god not another one", "ffs apple/linux/windows is better always will be". With no reason what so ever. Read. THIS IS NOT AN OPINION OF WHICH YOU LIKE BEST THREAD! I am becoming more openly minded to many computer operating systems and set up styles. What I was curious is, what makes each OS special? For example(s). Linux, you get the complete customization. Is a ...

I'm sure this has been done before, but I would just like to see what people think. If you REALLY REALLY REALLY hate one of these Operating Systems post about it and see if then people are going to REALLY REALLY REALLY hate you.

I have an application build in C++, which is portable on Win and Linux. It's a communication node between other two applications, and it's using UDP as streaming. The problem is that the entire installation is running faster when this node runs on Windows, and much slower when it's on Linux. All it has to do, is to listen on a UDP port, and sent received data on an other UPD port. But it's ...

Personally i think both Mac and Linux is better than windows for these reasons Safer Easier to Use Linux - Is free Linux can be customized, and re distributed so other people can make it better. Personally i don't really like windows. Windows xp is allright and i hope Windows 7 is an improvement on windows vista. Anyways what do you ...

Hey I want to buy a computer but I'm not sure if I want a Windows OS or a Linux OS. I was thinking about trying the Ubuntu OS from Linux. Anyone got an opinion?

Recently, a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license... whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers.. So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform Windows... or Linux

Bonjour, Je n'arrive pas à transférer des fichiers de Writer créés sous windows vers la version Linux. Systématiquement, Openoffice (sous linux) me renvoie des messages d'erreurs comme quoi il n'arrive pas à les récupérer ou à les restaurer ! Est ce que quelqu'un peux me dire si les 2 openoffice (winXp et Linux) sont compatibles à 100% ? Merci d'avance à ceux ou celles qui pourront m'aider. ...

@cruizer Sabagay, actually ay inilalaban ko nga 'yung Mono sa Java for enterprise applications. I wish ay madagdagan ako ng kasama and sana ay magkaroon ng training with certification ito. Hehehe!

It's best you decide which Linux distribution you want first. Because unlike Windows, Linux comes in many variety that caters to different user's needs/likes. For beginners I recommend Ubuntu. Go to the website and download a copy (using torrents is faster). You're definitely going to have to read up on wikis on how to install Ubuntu. There are some dual boot guides online. Linux is a new ...

Certes, Mais on ne peut pas se baser sur des informations provenant seulement de 4011 machines qui ne sont pas forcément des serveurs et sans doute que des machines utilisées par des geeks en quête de reconnaissance vis à vis du monde réel et qui se lance dans des croisière virtuellement abordable. Ce résultat n'est pas révélateur du marché actuel, encore une fois, il n'y a pas de ...

I know this topic has probably been covered a dozen time. It just that I'm not finding a clear answer to my issue. Here's the scenario: I have two identical machines. Both have same cpu, motherboard, ram, hard drive etc. The only difference is that one machine is configured with Ubuntu and the other configured with Windows 2003 server running Apache. Both have the same version of MySql...
