Haha, well most webservers are using linux. More secure, and faster .

Ubuntu user here full time, currently running Gutsy. Barely ever boot into Windows any more.

I normally run a the betas in a virtual machine but haven't had time to setup one for Heron (sp?) yet.

I used it for one year, but I switch back to Windows

I had been using Ubuntu for a few weeks but cannot get used to it.

I use Ubuntu too , combine it with Wine etc, I think you have a perfect system

Ubuntu for me as well, the only OS on my home desktop. I also have a laptop that I run different linux on, currently Wolvix.

Cool, good to see lots of Ubuntu users here.

I had used ubuntu breezy badger since june but got tired of it and switched back to XP last week.

Actually I'm about to get a new computer with Vista preinstalled. I want to play around with and keep a working install of Vista so I can get used to it, no doubt someday I'll be forced to use it on a job.

Anywho I'm worried about partitioning the disk. I've heard some reports of WGA locking you out if the hard disc size suddenly shrinks. :eek: Anyone have any experience dual booting Vista & Ubuntu?

My computer came with vista, it f***ing sucks, seriusly.
I tried 2 different partitioning softwares, and neither worked for vista.
I eventually took vista off, and now i duel-boot Ubuntu and Xp.

How about using 2 different hd's? they are not expensive now adays

Actually the comp I'm looking at while it's a Wally World special has a 250 GB HD, I current have an 80 GB drive with 2 OS'es on it and I barely use half of it. Plus I always set those stupid dip switches (master/slave) the wrong way.. HD's still have them right?

Sata drives err umm not sure if they have them as there is only one drive per cable 'unless the sata2 is any different'

Ubuntu 7.10 here.

Also testing 8.04 Hardy alphas, the latest alpha 4 looks great with the new features.

Running Mandrake here... er... I mean Mandriva almost fulltime on my lappy I dual boot Linux / XP on both the laptop and desktop. I only still use XP mostly because of photoshop.

And of course... all our servers run Linux

I am beginner of linux, any good resource to learn it ?

If you are running ubuntu, you should join the forums, and the IRC. Just ask them for some help.

energetic,
I think most major distros have their popular web hangouts... The one I usually end up on when I am searching for answers is linuxquestions.org. It also helps to get a spare computer and just mess around with it.

I use Debian + XFCE on my laptop.
