RE: Linux From Scratch

Back a couple years ago, when I started using Linux, I used Red Hat. Now they make you pay, so I'm currently using Fedora Core 4. I'm also going to try out Mandrake, maybe Debian, and possibly FreeBSD.

RE: Linux From Scratch

Well linux is a backend anyway, so you have to have a Mandrake out there... like I sid you cant just start up in debain or something. With linux you know it or you dont. Its not like Dos (which isnt a back end contrary to belief... its a front end and windows is the macro driven gui)... but anyway... yall do what you do. I like linux, but it doesnt serve me any

Re: RE: Linux From Scratch

I agree with Deposition, it SHOULD be a flamewar.

1. Macs are better anyway

2. Yeah macs are pretty much better than linux and windows

3. OSX = secks

4. It is unhacked.

Are you kidding? Unhacked? Anyone with even LIMITED knowledge about hacking can hack a Mac. Not that many people openly do it for a couple of reasons. The first one is that it is almost like hitting a retarded kitten. It's already so pitiful, why harm it. The second thing is the pity. Anyone that uses a Mac as their main boot is already so technologically lacking that they would never know how to fix it.

Anyway, back to the topic. I wouldn't use Linux as my main boot, since I like using many mainstream programs, that aren't available for Linux. Still, I'm going to be building a computer for personal use soon (AKA in my room, woot) and I'm thinking of dual booting Linux. It's a much more smoothly-running OS, especially if you DON'T build it yourself. Also, it has many programming compilers available right from the get-go. Since I'll be programming a bit, I'll need some good ones.

The thing is, I wouldn't build my own OS. If something goes wrong, you know that YOU'RE the problem. Also, the accessibility to many other programs is basically null, and I need a stable OS for many of my activities, like gaming and using BT.
