QUOTE(dispn0ygonekrazy @ Sep 26 2004, 8:50 PM) about linux never tried it .. anyone have info on it Linux-based operating systems are really quite awesome, but the learning curve is steep. It's not like Windows--you really have to get into a different mindset to fully use it. Software is often times not as neatly packaged as it is on Windows, either, and sometimes you have to do something called "compiling" which involves using commands such as this (just to give you a taste of the true Linux experience): CODE cp ~/bin/src /tmp tar xvzf foo.tgz cd foo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/foo make make install Yeah...it's not like Windows, where you just double-click on a file to install a program. ;) However, once you get past the "weirdness" of it, it can be quite nice, although often you have to play with things to make it work. I have a few computers running Linux (an iMac and a custom PC) and I program on an UltraSPARC that runs Solaris, which is a lot like Linux. I really like it, but it takes some time to get used to it. |
