Have no plans to switch anytime soon either :) Synthetic 07-26-2002, 03:29 AM Win 98 on one comp, XP on the other. secludo 07-26-2002, 03:34 AM 22GB of my drive goes to Slackare Linux 8 and the other 8GB goes to Windows 2000. My laptop also runs Slackware, only version 7.2, and my office PC runs Windows 2000. Anyways, don't use ME, it's suppose to be crap (though I'll admit I've never used it myself). Windows XP is more stable, anyway. neil 07-26-2002, 03:39 AM OS X at work, OS X Win 2k at home. OS X on my TiBook and Win2K / Open BSD on my other laptop. 24Host Tech3 07-26-2002, 03:56 AM I have Win2K on my laptop, one desktop is Win2K, another is dual boot Win2K/RedHat7.3, and another is Win98. Never used ME or XP, but from what I have heard, I would go with XP over ME. shaunewing 07-26-2002, 04:28 AM Windows XP - fantastic OS. Nice and reliable as well (in comparison to other Windows) - although make sure you have a decent amount of ram. --Shaun anon-e-mouse 07-26-2002, 05:04 AM I use ME, I have no problems with it at all :cool: Lats 07-26-2002, 05:09 AM This would have been a good poll :rolleyes: Win XP Pro humming along within 1 gig RAM - last reboot was about 2 months ago. So much better than Win 98. Lats... SiteRef 07-26-2002, 05:25 AM I use Win 98 on one comp & Win ME on the other. :cool: xharine 07-26-2002, 05:32 AM Win2k, planning to dual boot with WinXP Fiber 07-26-2002, 08:58 AM I run XP on this sytem. Other systems include parents w/ XP, my spare with XP, and a free FreeBSD, a couple of W2K Professional, and one with W2K Advanced Server.

On a 256 MB machine, the performance wasn't very good, but more stable that other versions windows. On a 512 MB machine, it is great. Chris 24Host 07-26-2002, 01:58 PM Running XP on two boxes, never had a problem yet. 256 ram seems to do it, although 512+ I would recommend. shaunewing 07-26-2002, 02:01 PM I have 1.1ghz w/256mb ram here running XP Pro on my laptop which runs fine... as I mentioned in my previous post - you need a decent amount of ram. I personally wouldn't like to run Windows XP on anything less than 256mb. --Shaun. MoSupaFly 07-26-2002, 03:40 PM 1 box running Win2000, another box running Linux (slackware 8.1), and another box that is currently running Win2000 but will be changed over to running WinXP on one HD and dual booting Linux (Slackware 8.1) on another HD. mwatkins 07-26-2002, 03:42 PM If you run Windows ME or 98/95, might I interest you in CP/M ? iamdave 07-26-2002, 04:19 PM I'd take Windows 2000 over all of the other Windows Operating System. OS X looks pretty good, seems more stable than OS 9. richy 07-26-2002, 05:14 PM win 98 , win xp pro (amen on the memory advice), win 2k, 2k svr, free bsd, dead rat 7.2 an 7.1 and solaris |
