I have been busy lately searching for operating systems I can use for my notebook. I have been a Microsoft windows user since its Windows 3.11 version. I have experience almost all Windows operating systems from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 , Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. All of my systems development are done in Windows.
Lately I came to the idea of "why not explore other operating systems", I am using Windows XP for my Desktop PC at home and in the office. I have been browsing the net for different operating systems, and these are the OS I found interesting…
Windows Vista
hmmm… not sure about it. I heard a lot of comments about Windows Vista, perhaps this goes last on my list.
OSX Leopard
Im not sure if this runs on PC, my colleague told me that he was able to run it on his PC.
Solaris X
Now this one looks promising. I already ordered a Solaris X DVD Software Kit. According to Sun Microsystems, Solaris X is the most advanced OS on the planet.
Linux
This is where things get more confusing. Since there are several Linux flavors available, I think I have to take some more time evaluating them. To name a few, the is
Inspire
Mandrake
Mepis
Red Hat
Slackware
Suse
Ubuntu
Vector
and there's more Linux flavors like KDE, AmulG, Ark, Corel, DSL, Elx Biz Desk, Feather, Knoppix, Puppy and Xandros. Actually there are still more…
I want to try and experience other operating systems other that Microsoft Windows. I am visiting forums, asking questions and getting ideas from friends and experts. Perhaps you have something to share also, I would really appreciate it.
I’m running Vista and I should say it’s got its own ups and downs. There’s a lot of Linux format out there mainly because it’s an open-source software, meaning people can configure it to their own preferences - like the Firefox web browser. And I think mac is probably the most user friendly OS considering that our user is one of em average computer users.
