Please Post Which Unix Based OS You use :)

Note: Please do not start Flame wars over Mac vs PC or Mac vs Linux...which is lame.. I want to watch out for peoples Safety :)

And Why do you use Unix Based OS?

I use Windows XP (Home, and Media), Windows Vista, Kubuntu, And Ubuntu

I use Ubuntu and Kubuntu because they are awesome and easy to navigate..lol I got my Kubuntu Disk today :)

I'm a Knoppix sort of guy. :D
 
I use win xp x64, and fedora x64, using fedora to learn more about linux, heh most of the workstations at work run with fedora so... Installed to learn my way around it :D
 
Windows Xp Pro soon to be Windows Vista Ultimate. I'm a gamer :D
 
I use Xp Pro(32bit). It was my first OS on my first "real" PC. I used Windows 95 for a few months a long time ago, but that PC was ancient with it's 33Mhz CPU! I'm going to give Ubuntu a look after all the stuff heard about it, and seeing a few YouTube videos.
 
I use vista really, but had a short stint w/ mythbuntu for an htpc that didn't pan out. I liked the interface a lot though, and will revisit it once I get a tv worthy of messing w/.

ha cool
Never heard of Mythbuntu:confused:
 
I use Ubuntu for web(I just feel more safe on it), music, video and Gimp. I also use Vista for games
 
i use the ubuntu varieties mostly. i only hold onto xp for games and some programs that dont have linux versions but everything else i mostly use xubuntu
 
An embedded Linux on my NAS :)

Also, since this is about Unix based OSes, why is everyone listing their Windows version? Besides, how is Unix related to a mac vs PC discussion?
 
I use Hardy Heron....ever seen the Desktop 3D Cubes that thing can run on a crappy Intel Q963 chipset....try that with any Windows version...and your mother gonna cry....:cry:
 
Ubuntu studio 8.04 x64 and Windows Xp Pro x86 dual boot, like ubuntu better than windows but some progs/games i have wont work under wine/cedega, hence why i keep windows xp
 
fedora on all our tpu servers
 
and....all my VMware servers...they are unix like....(proprietary)
 
I use Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mandriva.

personally i like the apt based distributions best.

my main unix setup is ubuntu, Compiz-fusion, avant-window-navigator.

im going to start playing with FreeBSD.
 
Ubuntu, was using it on my old Pentium 4 Dell laptop for a few years because I got sick of Windows. I tried it on my new system but the mobo is cheap and Ubuntu had no graphics support for it :(
 
run an update and see if the new kernel has support for it.
 
ha cool
Never heard of Mythbuntu:confused:

Mythtv is a linux front-end that handles tv recording and all around media center purposes. Mythbuntu is basically just ubuntu w/ mythtv already installed, providing the back-end as well and other features that come w/ a full os if needed. I heard about it and had some extra stuff lying around so I gave it a shot. Liked the interface and proposed capabilities, unfortunately my tv is too old to have anything resembling image quality on it, so I've abandoned it for now. :(
 
I use Win XP, Vista HP x64, Fedora 9, and OS X.5. I use OS X just because I like it a lot, Fedora because I like to tinker, and Windows for compatibility.
