Linux

Does anyone here use Linux? And if so what version?

I have a dual boot with Windows XP with Ubuntu Linux using GRUB. I love Linux but because I have a modem which doens't have any drivers for Linux most of the time I have to use Windows XP.

I use RH9 myself! Im thinking of upgrading to fedora, But the fact its not really a fully polished product i prob wont! Dont want to take da chance!

BTW, what modem do ya have, i mite be able help ya out!

i have a p3 secondary system that i use for school, its running RH7, old but stable i havent looked around for any newer versions tho

i do, at the moment its winxp sp2 with suse 9.3 with grub bootloader, but ive esed fedora core 3, gentoo, knopix live, phlak live, and mandrake i think

Iv updated to FC4 now, i was on FC3 for a few days then 4 came out!
Im messing with a few low end linux distros on an old 486 laptop i got my hands on, you'd be surprised how good some distros run on such a low end machine, But then again it is linux

Fedora 3 for me ...though thinking of going over to Solaris Unix. Tried other distros like Knoppix and SUSE but settled for FC3.

Iv messed with Mandrake and SUSE on a few machines i have here, but RH was always my favourite, i still have RH 9 here on one of the comps, good distro!

I run Fedora Core 3 aswell, looking to switch to mac though. Unix but pretty

i'm using knoppix its a good linux distrib

In the words of peter griffin... WOAH! woah, woah, woah... woah... woah, woah! Stop it. NEVER! Dual boot a PC, and i mean EVER! thats bad, it'll be more suseptible to crashes, and oher bad things, lol. Please be careful onwhat you do. Now, if you SLAVE Linux to anothe H/D the Dual boot, thatsa another story. THAT you can do. If you need help wiht that, let me know.

Dual booting on the same HDD with Linux and Windows only causes problems because Windows gets all pissy cause Linux is getting all the attention!

Anyway, lol, i'v updated to FC4 now, and btw i have Linux flyin away on a HDD of its own!

For modem drivers.. you have limited choice on Linux compared to WinXP. These lowcost modems donot offer any support for Linux.
