    That coincides with my statement of XP>2kpro in certain aspects, 2kpro still used an applet based table. Inefficient swap file (however easily modded), and numerous other little "tweaks". Still 2kpro was one of the best operating systems ever. All XP really is 2kpro with some added networking protocols, preloaded firmware/drivers, updated GUI with a few more colors, DirectX 7.0 preinstalled, and little "quirks" worked out with memory allocation/integer based performance. But not a whole lot.

    If you want a hard core solid operating system, use what I got at home. Good ol' Fedora, your machine will run beautiful on it. Let me grab a big book for you before you dive in that and try to setup KDE which is actually called GNOME in Fedora specific (KDE/GNOME=Kind of the GUI based format of Windows for Linux based OS's) and have fun using RPMs for everything 🙂 (won't even get into that)

    Oh my god are you fucking serious?

    KDE is not GNOME and GNOME is not KDE. THEY ARE TWO SEPERATE WINDOW MANAGERS. Fedora is basically redhat 10, nothing too spectacular.

    And RPMs? Have fun? That's like saying "hope you can figure out those self extracting zip files in windows!!"

        KDE and Gnome are both windows desktop emulators Gnome is for Fedora which is a spinoff of Redhat Redhat uses KDE. Last time I checked both do the same thing with minor differences in them. RPM's I didnt feel was nessecary to explain, on the details of ripping tarr files as he is using Windows. Just kinda educating on the cores of kernels and Linux.

        Fact stands that Linux is the most stable OS, and is growing in superiority and more people should be exposed to it. Especially for web server hosting, nothing and I mean nothing beats Apache, I will never use IIS (especially 5-6) for any professional client whatsoever.

        I tell ya what GSR, when did I say they were the exact same? I stated both were different, that acted as the same protocol for a kernel did I not. Believe so.

          My desktop machine here at work is RH 9 and I am using Gnome. It was factory installed. Both Gnome and KDE are freely available and are not platform specific.

          RPM's and tar files are not the same.

          I try to avoid using linux on production systems, as I have found there to be too many problems with it for my liking. Please rattle off a list of your professional webhosting clients as well... I am curious.

            Whoa, goin back and editing posts on me damn. They both also have nothing to do with the kernel of the operating system. They are graphical user interfaces. 😉

              Ok.....got a Win98SE from a buddy locally. Loading it right now. As for all the capabilities that i'm missing out on by not going bigger......whoopty doo. Counter-Strike, and my other games, check email and browse web sites. Maybe download music and videos. That's it. 98 is fine for me. And being less stable than the others.....I never had problems.

              Thanks anyways guys.....next time i'm on, I'll have my pics and videos back-up.

                Edit's were done previous for grammatical reasons. Didn't spell a few thing's right. Kind of a "stickler" for grammatical errors; school does that to you. Anyways AS STATED EARLIER, BOTH ARE GUI'S - From the original statement that is what I pointed. Never did I say anything different? So your proving nothing here. Might as well quit while your ahead.

                Back to work for me. Have a couple clients waiting on quotes with MS Speech Server SDK tools, Wizard just give me a PM with your contact detail and we can arrange something.

                    Never got into Counter Strike....been playing Call Of Duty and Joint operations lately. Both great games if you like MP First Person Shooters...can't wait for Doom 3, which has just gone Gold, and HL2....dunno when will that be released but can't wait. Just bought an X800T video card too....$400 video card....but man what awesome Frames per second I get out of this.

                      People still play Counter-Strike. One of my friends is into it pretty badly, he's serious about his clan playing and I've heard he actually ignores phone calls because of it. I have gone back to TFC. 😛 I made the mistake of spending over $200 on a new video card last year and I don't even need it. The fan has failed twice so I'm actually using my old ATI Radeon 7500 and I don't play anything more graphics intensive than Half Life. LOL

                        7500 actually is a great video card. Restrictive 64 bit memory controller but I have a 9800 pro for sale if your interested. The 9800 pro has been flashed to a 9800XT and has Samsung memory in it with a VGA Silencer on it. Overclocked quite nicely. 770 mhz Memory (385mhz x 2 DDR) and 415mhz core GPU. Would give you excellent boost in quality and bump your resolution.

                        EDIT: Also have an Athlon XP 2500 (Barton core) for sale that OC'ed to 3200 Speeds (200mhz FSB)

                        and also have an Asus A7V8E Deluxe Board for sale.

                                That will happen about the same time you quit creating new usernames after getting banned.
