i like linux, well freebsd rocks my world mostly but i cant get through the
install myself which sucks (95% of it!) and then setting up x is a bitch ):

but umm just to add to the windows thing...DRIVERS! an os w/ drivers is
good.

but *nix rocks, i love how its such a programmer oriented OS, its just
great.

any os that comes w/ a compiler is awesome in my book...wish i could set it
up by myself though, without havin to run to my buddy to finish up where i
left off hehe
