PC or MAC, Which do you use to cruise TST?
 

just curious to know what everyone uses at home for their computing needs.

i dont understand why people call windows pc. either way i use windows because its an 8 year old computer and i cant afford a mac

Old B130 with Windows 7 x86 Ultimate, Dell Studio One with 7 Pro, Mini 9 with XP... at a Precision T3400 At work... again with windows.

Dell XPS 710 here on Windows XP

Pretty much the hot gaming machine back in 06/07....

still rocks pretty good.. haven't upgraded yet... no problems

Fresh out the box HP pavilion elite with windows 7 does the job.

24" iMac

Windows XP, but ask me again in a month... :wink:

Does Linux count as PC?

Kubuntu kicks ass... but thats only because my hard drives took a **** and now I am booting off a disk every boot haha

Windows. I'll pass on paying out the ass for a prebuilt computer running a watered down version of unix with borderline zero gaming support.

Its not even unix based anymore! Didnt they move to x86?

Ubuntu Linux!

Are you using kde4? I was just checking out 4.3. They did a really nice job with it.

x86 is just the processor type that runs the OS.
The "unix" based part refers to how the os is designed to work. Things like higher security standards, how the kernel works, certain directory structures, no use of dll files or a registry, etc... are what define it as being unix based or not.

Linux is unix based, and you run it on your x86 machine.

I have a custom PC, but I've always loved MAC. Their machines have a clean appearance, and their OS options are great, everything is so user friendly. Apparently Windows 7 has some MACesque features and I'll be giving it a try.

no im not ****in around, its been working fine for the last 6 or 7 years. i just cant open too many windows, or run the new aim or it will freeze up.

lol Linux was NEVER based on Unix.

Anyways, Windows 7 here.

Huh? Linux is Linus' unix. Hence the name LinuX

From wikipedia:
"A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system. It derives much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, and peripheral and file system access. Device drivers are integrated directly with the kernel."
