Which pc operating system are you using?

Based on this poll.
So, now we know which version of windows are common here.
What about other operating systems?

More than one of these may apply, so multiple choices are enabled.

I've recently installed Mepis, a Debian distro, on an older machine (450MHz, 256Mb) that I recently acquired. It's a VAST improvement over the Win98 OS previously installed on it. I've since installed SuSE (dual boot with WinXP) on my laptop. SuSE ROCKS!! SuSE is developed by Novell, a REAL company with REAL developers that get paid REAL money to develop it, not hobbyists and midnight engineers - yet it is free to download. I'm going to, yet again, repartition my drive to give SuSE more room.

gentoo linux

I run Gentoo Linux and OSX Tiger. Went through Redhat, Mandrake, Mepis, and DamnSmall before settling on Gentoo. Gentoo is the perfect distribution for me. I did test SUSE 8 once; it felt a little weird to me.

It'd have been a lot easier to do a combined poll of all OSes people are running, then the stats would be clearer.
As in: Windows 2K/XP, Windows 9x, Older Windows, Linux (RPM-based), Linux (Deb-based), Linux (other), BSD, Other Unix, Mac OS X, Mac OS Classic

Which workstation/pc?

Got about 5-10 here running various Linux/BSD distros. Although it was a good dream, UnitedLinux would have been a sight to see if the dreams would have ever been realized...

Sincerely,

Running Fedora Core 4 out of laziness. I really wanna use Gentoo or Ubuntu.

In regular use I have OS 9.2.2 in addition to Windows. On the computers in the collection, I have, hmm... All versions (almost--1.1 to OS 10.2) of Mac OS, DOS, CP/M, whatever the TRS and C64s each used, Amiga OS, I think that's it. Also have a dual OS computer--DEC Rainbow.

OSX here (10.4.x) on my lap. I have/use/manage many machines running FreeBSD 4.x/5.x/6.0 and RHEL ES/AS 2.1/3/4 at work and home. Currently at home, I have one FreeBSD 5.4 box and one 6.0 box.

FreeBSD

Fedora Core 4 and RedHat 7.

I was dual-booting RH7 and Winblows 2000. W2K refuses to boot, while RH7 keeps on going and going.

Slackware 10.1. I still have XP under vmware if I want to see whats going on in the syware world and have a 2003 server trial under vmware at the moment to test a couple things.

Suse is a very nice setup - I run it on one of my computers, and use it to fix windows problems. Suse was a great company BEFORE Novell purchased it. I have experience with Novell S/W, and it really bothered me that they bought it - probably will mess it up over time.

Like carrot and ackbar, I also run Gentoo Linux.

Windows XP at the office for work, and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger at home to get work done ;-)

slack 10.2

Mepis Linux, dual boot with WinXP.
