    linux i think to me is the best "office" use OS. cause of it's stablitity and IS FREE :).

    Open office and mozilla firebird is great. also, there is alot of desktop features which i really like in redhat.

      I'm dual-booting with Gentoo 1.4 as my primary OS. Sadly gotta keep Windows around for gamin :rolleyes: I first tried Linux about 3 months ago with Mandrake 9.1 and RH9, but I wanted to learn more and be able to customize my system more so I switched to Gentoo and Im lovin it, their portage system is awesome for keeping ur sys up to date and avoiding dependency issues :thumb:

        interesting results, but I've got to admit that I would have thought there would be more people running Linux as their main OS, in some configuration. In fact, I would have thought more people in general would be using linux.

            I run a RedHat 9 server and a JAMD (basically RedHat 9) box as a workstation. But, I gotta keep Windows XP pro on my game box.

                My router/firewall runs slackware 8.0 (updated), my server runs slackware 9.1, my laptop runs slackware 9.1 and XP pro (only because of the software that came with my Nikon D100), my main workstation runs slackware 9.1 and XP pro for the same reason as the laptop and the toy runs XP pro (the toy is in my lounge room and is attached to a 46" plasma display :-).

                  I may have to change my vote soon. I'm going to be getting a removable hdd bay to accomodate a removeable 40 GB hdd required by my courses that will be running an assortment of OS's thoughout the next 2 yrs (don't have to pay for it ;) ) So I'll have linux and winxp running independently of each other on seperate HDDs, as well as the misc. 40 GB.

                              actually distros like MDK and RedHat are comparatively slower to stuff like Slack and Gentoo. keep working on MDK and once you get hang of the stuff try moving to one of the faster distros. they are really fast and fun to work with ;)
