Post your Linux/Unix/Mac desktops :D

This is so much better than the boring "Post your Windows desktop"

Would you recommend Linux over Windows XP?

[-Thrilla-]

I ditched Windows completely a bit under a month ago, and I have yet needed/wanted Windows for anything besides CS Source, but I have UT2004 on SuSE :D
Gotta say Linux is powerful and open, there're so much stuff you can do. But I'm still too noob to use FreeBSD, I want unix hahaha.

Wait, you can't use CS:S on Linux? That's what I mainly play....aww damn.

I know you can use wine but I messed wine up lol, so no wine for me right now.

If you can handle Linux, you can handle ANY UNIX (meaning doing shellscripts & commandline stuff really)...

This is speaking from personal experience!

(UNIX: That is where I started in academia & on various jobs in the 1980's, years/decades ago (along w/ VMS & other IBM midranges OS' (awesome stuff, best commandline system I have EVER seen in fact on OS400))).

I wouldn't call myself a "master of UNIX" but, it's NOT that 'radically different' from Linux imo @ least.

Personally? I think Linux is BETTER actually (in some ways, others, not)!

I want unix hahaha.

Solaris x86: IIRC, there ARE completely FREE builds of it available for a PC, see here:

It says that I have to have "Some Linux Knowledge"...which I don't so I guess no Linux for me.:( It looks better than XP though...

Running FreeBSD 6.1..

Is cedega free? I screwed up wine lol, but still want css and defcon

[zekrahminator]

From what I heard Cedega ain't free, but it is one of the best Windows emulators out there.

[Migons]

There are free CVS versions of Cedega available for free, but they might not work as well as the commercial version. CVS Cedega page can be found here: http://transgaming.org/
