i installed it on one of my computers and it made it much faster this is a +2 for microsoft. the only thing microsoft can do is make os. (imo)

no. XP and 2000 are their only good OSs. Vista sucks, 98 was ok, ME was failure, 3.1 was ok, the others suck.


 

NT
Do you mean windows 2000? The wikipedia article says that technically, Vista is an NT release.

@a12331 - yeah, hardware support can be a pain occasionally. Some of the simpler distros aren't that difficult to get working though. I started out knowing nothing, and here I am now using Gentoo happily for almost 9 months or so.


interesting choice for linux,gentoo, most choose open-suse or ubuntu.

I see Ubuntu as more of a "get started with linux" distro. I actually switched to linux more than a year ago. I started out with OpenSUSE, a little bit of Kubuntu, and Fedora Core 6. I would've gone bat crazy if I tried to start out with Gentoo. Even coming from Fedora Core, Gentoo was quite a big jump. The customizeability and control I have over my system now is well worth it though.

Most people do like Ubuntu though.  It's quite popular these days. 

ubuntu is popular, i tried using it but it wouldnt read some of my ram and two cores of my proccessor. I seemed easy to use, the best part that loved about it was thousands of free apps, some of which replace expensive apps in windows.            Also you went through many different versions of linux, are u good with computers or a average jo?
