OS polls...

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.

 

It seems like Sun, 03 Oct 2004 10:39:25 +1300 was when "Dave -

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?

 

Mmmmm ... that is a tough one.
Let me think about it a bit.

<thinking>
.....
</thought>

Mac OSX
Mac OS
Windows 2000
Windows Me

 

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"...

Trust you to get it wrong again he has already got Windows 2000 in his list

So much for the thought process of Harry Halfwit

It doesn't play Vice City Still nothing's perfect I suppose.

 

No, he has Win2k3

How pathetic!

Still cant read the original post second from top of list how pathetic
are you.

 

There is no such os as Win 2k. There is only Windows 2000.

Moreover, as many people like youself would tell me, "k" stands for 1024.

 

Bit like this thread. Other off the topic rules OK.

 

So are they looking for a mate.

 

Nope its *nix. Lin is the person who used to post here awhile back, to
nz.general s well

 

Maybe, but not to date.

See how easy it was for Dave to take a poll and the results showed up that
there were a great deal more bases out there than he thought there were.

Asking the correct question is more important than anything else, answer
wise.

 

I think the VS has already found one, it sounds shagged.

 

I have one win98 box, one Smoothwall (customised RedHat) box, one FreeBSD
box, one Mandrake 10_32 and one Mandrake 10_64 box - and one box presently
in pieces but which probably will be a *BSD or a Solaris box.
