| 500665 | 2006-11-21 10:52:00 | Linux, but use various flavours of Windows for testing, mostly in VMWare Server. Main Workstation: Debian Etch / 2.6.17-2-k7 Main Server: Debian Etch / 2.6.17-2-686 Web/Mail Server: Fedora Core 5 / 2.6.18-1.2224.fc5 Backup Server: Debian Etch / 2.6.17-2-686 Was running Debian Sid on the workstation for a while, but still too many bugs for my liking - so I'll be sticking with Etch for now. The percentages on the right don't seem to add up.Because you can vote for more than one option. The percentages mean "x percent of voters chose this option." |

That is because the percentages are still what percentage of voters voted for each option, even though you can vote for more than one option. |

| 500671 | 2006-11-27 01:24:00 | Hello At the moment XP is my preffered choice. Though I am looking to get Linux and see how I get on with it. Not sure which "make" would suit me? Mac could be interesting to as it has the possibilities with BootCamp and Parallels. Can Linux be installed as main OS then Parallels with XP so working progs (that use xp) could be installed? G |

G Yes but you need to install XP first as MS doesn't work well with others. Linux will install a boot loader so you can choose Linux or XP with Linux being default if you so choose. The server time is six minutes fast. Have just set mine to an atomic clock. |

Linux will install a boot loader so you can choose Linux or XP with Linux being default if you so choose.You don't _have_ to install Windows first, but if you don't you will be in the annoying situation of needing to restore the linux bootloader, as Windows will wipe it during the install. It's not hard to do, but it is a pain. | Erayd (23) | ||
