Me. Which flavour are you using?Originally posted by Illegal Operation:Anyone using linux on a day to day basis here?
I'm using Xubuntu.

It's free, easy to install and you don't have to patch it all the time for security flaws.
Try this.
http://www.ubuntu.com/
Download, burn onto a CD, pop it in and try it from the CD. -

Go and order. It's FOC. Just register an account there. It can take up 2 months for delivery, as it always say, but I received mine 1 month later.
Xubuntu is not included, because Xubuntu is specialized???!!! Don't know, I feel that it's easy to use, just like Ubuntu, don't know what's so specialized about it. -
I am using Ubuntu... Xubuntu to be exact...

You will be surprised that there's a group out there. There's an open-sourced group in my school. There's also another group out there... the real enthusiasts.Originally posted by Deino:i dun think more than 0.9 percent of singaporeans would want to use Linux -

It really is possible to survive without Windows and you save money on windows upgrades, virus scanner subscriptions and the new PC to run memory and processor hungry windows applications. -
Hey, say if Apple releases a version of OS X that runs on PCs, will you switch?
-
ok so count that number and see....wot i can try to guess is 60-70% of singaporeans including families are using windows whilst 30-40% use Mac. The rest use others......a group is small compared to a countryOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:You will be surprised that there's a group out there. There's an open-sourced group in my school.

You very slow leh... got Boot Camp, can dual boot liao!Originally posted by Illegal Operation:Hey, say if Apple releases a version of OS X that runs on PCs, will you switch?
Now that Macs are on Intel chips, it makes things even easier. -
I wouldn't say that number would number to 10%, but I'm pretty sure got at least 1%.Originally posted by Deino:ok so count that number and see....wot i can try to guess is 60-70% of singaporeans including families are using windows whilst 30-40% use Mac.

In technology, there's this phenomenon we call the tipping point. It happened during the browser war between Netscape and Internet Explorer.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I wouldn't say that number would number to 10%, but I'm pretty sure got at least 1%.
Back in 1997, Netscape suddenly decided to rewrite its browser from scratch, giving Microsoft the opportunity to develop Internet Explorer into a better browser.
The moment Internet Explorer hits 30% market share, it tips and Netscape very rapidly lost its user base to Internet Explorer.
The same can happen today. -
PS3 can also use Linux or Ubuntu or something

Hopefully. Frankly, even for Ubuntu, one of the easiest distros around, it still hasn't gained popularity, because it's still not user-friendly enough.Originally posted by Illegal Operation:In technology, there's this phenomenon we call the tipping point.

Most Windows users don't use Command Line... in Linux this is required.
Then there's software compatibility issues... some softwares are never ported over to Linux...
There are way too many reasons to say no to Linux. -
