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.
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"...

Harry said the following on 3/10/2004 13:35: 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.
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 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. Divine
