What operating systems have you used?

yurimxpxman · March 6th, 2007

What operating systems have you all used, and what did you think of them? I've been considering trying FreeBSD lately.

Only Mac OSX (a little) and Windows for me so far. I hope to get my hands on at least Ubuntu ASAP though...

I'm dual booting linux and windoze, I played with OS X and my old elementary school used OS 7, and played with FreeBSD at one point in time (still have the discs somewhere)

It was like 8 months ago and there really wasn't much to do with it. That and it was on my laptop actually, my desktop mouse (only one had at the time) didn't play well with it. It was fun setting up and stuff but once I had it setup, I had nothing to do with it, save what I was already doing in linux. I switched back over to linux after about a week.

Windows only. Hey, I'm a glutton for punishment, what can I say? =)

To date, I've tried only Linux and Windows.

DOS
Windows 3.11,95,98,ME,2k,XP,Vista

SuSE 9.1,10.1
Fedora Core 4
Ubuntu
Debian

OSX
OS9
OS7

BeOS R5

Honestly out of all of those, BeOS was my favorite. Best performance, most features built in, and boots in 10 seconds or so on a 266MHz K6. Just to bad R5 was released in 2001, then Be Inc. went under

DOS (several versions), Windows all from 3.11 to XP Pro, Linux, Unix and whatever OS came on the Apple IIe.
