Corrine Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We know that Linux is popular with Highlanders. So, just for fun (no prizes), let's find out what is the primary operating system used by Highlanders. Post the flavor in the comments.

Guest LilBambi Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I voted Mac because my main rig is a Mac and I have the iPhone. But I am always in one flavor or anther of Windows (WinXP Home/WinXP Pro/Vista/Win7 Ultimate - this is looking for a home - it's retail and the hardware died), and Linux (Debian) as well. Just as much as the Mac really. So I think I am more OS agnostic .. that's funny! I think some folks have said that of Adam too!

Corrine Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think everyone knows that I'm a Windows user. Windows 7 is my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Windows 7 is my all time favorite Windows! Ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Of course, Linux is my primary OS with Archlinux as my primary distro on all of my computers. The other machines (tablets/phones) run Android (Jelly Bean). I do have one small (100gb) Win7 partition for gaming but I keep the nic disabled and rarely boot into it (once every couple of months).

zlim Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Windows XP and 7. I tend to learn a new Windows version while falling back on the tried and true to get things done. So I use XP a lot while I learn how to maneuver around in Win 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Like you didn't already know this... Nice graphics. Me main os is Arch on the home pc. I run Windows 7 on a Raid 0 for gaming. Raspbian runs on my Pi. I use Porteus on a usb stick at home and when travelling. Though I have packed the Pi for a couple of trips and will be packing it more often in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello, Right now, I am running a mixture of Windows 7 and Windows 8 on my home computers, OS X Mountain Lion on my 13" MBP, and various VMs with Linux in them (Ubuntu, Arch, etc.).

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You have an Arch installation, Aryeh? I'm impressed. You MS MVPs aren't such a bad lot after all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I remember you pre-Arch. What were you running then? Ubuntu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichase Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I remember you pre-Arch. What were you running then? Ubuntu? Started out with Madriva One (KDE 4.3) Once I realize that KDE was to much for my box of old parts I distro surfed for a while until Security Breach turned me on to Arch once I told you all that I wanted to "LEARN" linux and not just run it. Yeah, it's all his fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross549 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The cool thing about Macs is that they are built on a unix-like foundation. I can flex my unix/linux muscles whenever I want. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've never set fingers on the keyboard of a Apple or Mac either, that I can remember. It's not by any conscious choice, though. I just never had the opportunity to use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just never had the opportunity to use one. I never conciously chose to touch a Mac either. I had a customer who knew I was a Linux user at home and just assumed that qualified me to work on their office computers, PC and Mac.

sunrat Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You just need to see my sig. If it doesn't have Debian under the hood, it doesn't fly. Except maybe in VirtualBox. Also have Win7 for games, best Windows ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Arch - the Linux distro created by sadists expressly for masochists. Oh, no... wait... that's Gentoo, I'm thinking of. *Note: I mentioned Gentoo in a post. trigggl will be showing up shortly. He's almost as dependable as Sunrat is when I use the KDE's name in vain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
