Well, I also use w2k, because this is what I'm paid for. However, I plan to change this soon. > > All this talk about bsd and linux being better than > windows is bullshit.

"better memory management" ?! Hmm ... strange. On my system (PII 300MHz,128MB), it takes 64megs at startup, and when I really try to do something, it start do swapping. However, I have here an P-100MHz 32MB with FreeBSD4.0 which is not far as fast as that PII running w2k .. even with that damn Netscape. Oh .. "better memory management" than win9x, you mean ?! This is easy to do .. win9x has none memory management ... :) > > I like linux and freebsd, but I also know that right > now for the desktop and home use, windows 2000 is by > far the better option. I really hope that BSD or Linux Depends on taste .. and on who is using it. I don't expect that somebody who just want to read mail/ browse web/ write something to use unix. For this kind of people, windoze can be a good choice (however, I won't pay 200-400$ just for this). And, of course, if somebody really want to so something, not just move the mouse and push buttons, than unix is the answer .. > someday is better than windows and then I will use > them for everything, but until then you just cant beat > windows. Unix was before Windose and will be far after it .. Of course, most things you can do in a simple way in Unix, you can do in the hardest way with windows .. and, of course, you need more and better hardware :) > > Tim Ryder > Developer Stefan Koronka Developer too API/MFC/COM/ATL - planning to throw this things away and do something serious :) > > > --- Greg Lehey <grog@lemis.com> wrote: > > ----- Forwarded message from dan@shearer.org ----- > > > > > Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 09:32:50 +0930 (CST) > > > To: linuxsa@linuxsa.org.au > > > > > > Or, "additional query words remove disappear > > delete". > > > > > > Someone just posted to the Samba team along the > > following lines: "I > > > thought I would store my W2K Roaming Profile on my > > Samba server, just to > > > make me feel safer.
