Yup
Internet Explorer dominates the market...and that's what everyone attacks. He's right, use Firefox or Opera.

Yup!

And if you want super security, use OpenBSD, echo and netcat [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]


#echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" | nc www.domain.com 80 | less

You will never get spyware!

haha

yeah, i run gentoo linux, i've also got windows xp and 98, but haven't used them for months, enjoying vegastrike on linux, its a really hard game!
here is my anatomy of osses i've used:
windows 3.1
windows 3.11
windows 95
windows 98
windows nt 4.0
windows 2000 rc2
windows xp pro
redhat linux 8.0 (was a little faster than windows, but the dependancys for packages were horrible)
gentoo linux first 2.4 kernel then 2.6.2 then 2.6.7 man let me tell you gentoo is miles faster than redhat, far stabler (hasnt crashed once) and the first time i used linux i was hooked!

Sweet.
I run Slackware and SuSE. The SuSE box I use for kernel programming and kernel ACL programming for security.
I also have a NetBSD box, and an OpenBSD box that has a failed hard drive.
No windows machines,yay!

there are a lot of good games for linux, some examples are vegastrike, cube, bz flag, xtux (isometric, but terribly addictive), flightgear, and torcs, all of these are free too, so you can't beat the price!

Is Unreal Tournament for Linux free that you know of?
If it is I will actually setup an X server for it.

gentoo has some bsd features like portage (really nice, alot better than redhats dependency nightmare) you just type emerge <name of program here> and it fetches all the files and compiles it.
