I mainly use Windows, though I occasionally use Debian/GNU Linux on my Dreamcast to get writing stuff done, by telnetting to shell accounts and using the text editors on the servers.

[ I really need to become familiar and friendly with the concept of compiling my own DC Linux disc, though -- I wanna start using ssh and scp instead of telnet and ftp respectively, just so I can secure my connections (instead of having to quickly change passwords for when I'm about to telnet to my account, and then changing it back once I'm going through scp). And the available LinuxDC distro online doesn't have those programs. ]

Best? I don't know... KDE and Gnome, which came with Red Hat Linux, were the ones I used most often with my roommate's Linux Box. The fastest GUI might be plain ol' X, but it's really barebones (until you start configuring it, I assume -- which I never really got around to learning).

I use an xp/linux dual-boot.
The best GUI for linux is probably KDE or blackbox.

Windows XP Professional. Not that I can complain; it does everything I want and then some. The only problems I've had with any version of Windows have been problems that were caused by my own actions.

I'd like to have a Mac some day, but the compatibility/costs are still keeping me away from any kind of serious thoughts.

I wanted to come in here and get some geek envy by saying something like "I use BeOS 5 Professional" or something. Bah, lusting for geek envy. To what depths will I sink...

Holy cow I'm the only guy (so far) who uses a mac ^_-....Primarily these days I've been using Mac OSX 10.2.1, although when I go to the labs I have to use 9.2.2...bleh.... I have a Win98SE box, but haven't used it in forever (it's very old and my money was being saved up for a couple of bigger purchases.....anyways I just used it for gaming mostly heh).

OSX to me feels like this nice geek infusion of the nitty gritty tinker stuff along with an OS that just works (for me, at least)...now that all the apps I want to use for publishing has been ported over, I have little reason to use anything else..

this sounds like one of those Apple Swith ads LOL

I would be using XP, but thanks to Microsofts ridiculous registration requirments I'm not. I installed a new motherboard and XP thought that I had installed my copy on a different computer. I didn't know if I was going to have to replace that motherboard of not so I just installed an older copy of 98se. I have to call up Microsoft and have them reset my number, but it's just such an unneccesary hassle.

I'm strangely using both Linux and Windows both at work and at home. The first several times I tried installing Linux on a system that had Windows previously on it, there were hidden Windows programs preventing it from working properly.

Yo! Stop using Win ME, I've heard that it is the worst Windows OS ever.

As for me, I use Mac OS X. You're not alone Shinsei! I love this OS! It takes a little bit of effort to get used to it because its not exactly the same as OS 9. But I would never go back to OS 9. This OS rocks so much I cannot even understand its awesomeness.

I've heard from my pal too that Mac OS kicks ass.

I use WinNT, mostly because of software requirements. I *want* to use windows 2000/Xp but there isn't any drivers for some of the old hardware my company uses :(
Mac is nice, but the lack of software for my work (2d/3d/compositing/animation) stuff bothers me.

I also have Linux for my Dreamcast because of my broadband adapter ^^

Former OS/2 user (damn I miss the Workplace Shell).

Former BeOS user (damn I miss the Tracker).

Current WinXP user. The only reason why I use it instead of Win2k is ClearType.

Eventually I want to move to a Mac. I was never a fan of Mac OS until I saw Mac OS X in action, and for me, it would be the best version of Unix available. I have never been a fan of the lack of a really powerful and consistent desktop under Linux, and for me the UI is as important as the OS itself.

I switch between Mac OS and Mac OS X, depending on my mood.

I'm not sure why I don't just stick with OSX, since you can run classic mode inside of it, but oh well.

Well, that's 3 so far :D

XP here, I'm too lazy to moove on Linux and too poor to moove on Mac...
I have to find a solution for when I will have to write at the same time french (éèùàç etc), japanese and chinese, because Unicode is a huge, huge, huuUUUUUUUUUuuuuuge shit.

I use win98.

This might sound weird, but I do like WindowsME. It worked great for me.

Unfortunatly, I had many problems (blue screens and all) and I thought it was the OS, so I changed it for 98. Had worse problems.

Turns out my Ram was too slow for the mobo, so faster ram fixed it. I hate win98 and I hope to change to winME as soon as posible.

Won't change to XP until I have A LOT of Ram.

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.

"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.
