I have 2 machines, a desktop and a portable, and neither are Windows

No hassle, perfetly comfortable, and better and friendlier than Windows too

And I think I've forgotten how to use Windows already... been ages since I last touched it!

Any thoughts on Knoppix? I'm thinking about downloading the live CD to try it out...

Yeah, you should give knoppix a try, there are many live cds out there, including ones from suse, gnome, etc... have fun

Haha.. it's very hard for me to live outside windows due to my development and work...

most are windows based systems.

Maybe in the future when I start to work at enterprises taht uses Unix based systems

Yeah its good to use knoppix to at least give yourself a feel of how the linux operating sytems works you know

wilfred · 16th Sep 2005, 05:49 PM

you should give gnome livecd a try if you get too overwhelmed by the changes... they really concentrate on human usability factors....

*Cough* Mac OS X! Packed with Unix toughness and goodness, and incomparable beauty

Don't need to learn Linux to be a Unix user...

*coughs again* iBooks selling for RM3999, 1U AppleCenter selling Mac Minis for RM1699, and Powerbooks from RM6599 onwards! Hehehe...

and nope, I am not a MacAsia or Apple employee or promoter..

Wilfred: Since when am I a Linux guru?

Ken: Well, work is work, you can still learn for knowledge's sake, and for home use. Plus, a lot people get impressed when you tell them you know how to use *nix
