Is linux free 4995
The charitable interpretation would be that HalcyonWild is just a bit confused. There's a tediously...
No, but given the choice, I would run Windows 2000 instead of XP. In fact, I have 2 Windows machines at home (along with 4 Macs and 2 Linux boxes) - both run Windows 2000, despite the fact that I have access to WinXP.
And my main Linux box that serves my email, website, my church's website and some other stuff is running Red Hat 9. Yes, I've updated things like Apache, OpenSSL, Sendmail, etc, but the kernel and base utils are RH9. And it works fine. Sometime early next year, I'm going to switch it to Gentoo (that's what my home test-development Linux box is running ).
Because it is! I haven't paid a DIME for any Linux I use at home or at work, with the exception of RHEL 3 licenses for critical production boxes, and those licenses are insisted upon by management. I would be fine without them.
I have several stable machines running Gentoo, one running RH9, one running (free) SuSE.
Struggling in what way?? What problems? What hardware? Do you know for a *fact* that the problem was with the software?
My personal laptop is a 17" PowerBook with OSX 10.4. But I also have a Thinkpad running Gentoo - it runs great and cost $0 for the software.
