Anyone here running this software?
Is it ok, do you like it?
I really need to upgrade from my old win98 se.
Getting tired of the crashes. Just had another one and lost everything.

Not sure what you mean by "Linux xp software" If you mean only Linux then some distro's are really good like "Ubuntu"(free) and "Suse 10". Both have a learning curve unlike Windows XP. Linux is getting better and better and is a good alternative now to Microsoft products, IMHO.Originally Posted by Steve Clardy

He may be talking about something like Lindows, which has all the Windows emulation add-ons preinstalled.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.

Steve - Are you looking at a new PC or just changing the OS on the old machine? If keeping the old machine, what's under the hood?

From DistroWatch.com:
Linux XP Professional Edition is a universal and secure operating system for Russian speakers designed for home and business use. It is based on freely available sources from Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core.

You might want to reconsider.

Hmmm. Ebay seller didn't disclose that.
Well. It was only .99 plus shipping. Less than $10.00

It might not be hopeless . . . apparently there is an English language setting, if you can struggle through the Russian to find it. Here's another linky to check out. I'm thinking it might be kind of fun. 'Course, I've already got Linux installed to dual-boot with Win2K, so I might have kind of a warped sense of fun.

Go to the UBUNTU website and download their free linux OS. It is highly regarded and I have tried it myself as well. It works a lot like Windows.

SawMill Creek runs on a Linux server. Years ago I made the decision to use Linux exclusively for Hampton Roads Online, I sleep much better knowing that I don't have to rely on that other operating system for things that are important.
You need to understand that for some machines like Laser Engravers and CNC Routers there is rarely a Linux driver available so Windowz may be your only choice. Should the day come when enough people choose Linux as their operating system of choice the vendors will start providing software and drivers for their equipment and the world will be a better place.

Sound's like the Becker's are going to have to visit the Clardy's to help Steve install his new OS.
