Just recently I have been running a poll({blatent plug}on
www.dave.net.nz) on which OS people use, and well I included 10 options

Win XP
Win 2k
Win 9x
Lin Debian
Lin Redhat/Fedora
Lin Mandrake
Lin Gentoo
BSD Net/Free/MacOSX
Win2k3
Other

which I figured oughta cover it.
now I have some rather odd(in my mind) results sofar.

"Other" has the second highest result, and seeing as I only really
mention my url here, then I assume that it is you guys who are filling
it in.

the polling thing that Im using doesnt allow an "other - please specify"
box so Im a little stuck as to find out what the "other" is.

Who wants to share?

Hi
Haven't filled in your poll, but I have 3 systems that would fit the
'other' SUSE, Coyotelinux and Solaris 9 SPARC.

Massive amounts of people using Solaris? A return to form for the
Commodore 64? I use Pocket PC 2002 quite a bit.

I've got boxes running Solaris x86, Wang VS/OS and Netware sitting here
generating heat.

Maybe I should have made a "Lin Other" option... that should have
atleast caught some of the others.

return to form for the C64... did it ever lose form?

There are lots of the 'run off a CD-ROM' distros around these days,
Knoppix, Gnoppix, Lycoris etc. I have a copy of Puppy Linux on a USB
flash. Plus the 64 bit versions of Linux are out and about as well.

Maybe a poll in nz.comp may help?

I'm using Suse Linux, and I'm sure there are other popular Distros out
there. Point is you could include a "Other Linux" and "Other Windows", and
perhaps "Other Apple"...
