“Someone from the 2% can explain to me what is their primary occupation on a PC ?”
Although I have a Win2k machine, and intermittently Linux, the Amiga network is the heavy duty engine here.
The Amigas are used for web surfing (like now), email, DTP, audio work such as making CDs from tape recordings, graphics generally, MIDI sequencing, web design, preparing teaching materials, etc etc.
The only program I have used at all regularly on the Windows platform over the past year or so is Wave Repair. The IE/RealAudio combo is used for getting music from the BBC web site, but it frequently resets the machine.
Gentoo Linux of cource
i would like to try macos qnx and beos sometime
WinBlows S…s
At work: win 2K
At home: Gentoo Linux since 1 year and occasionaly win 2K for audio apps like fruityloops or atomimp3
currently i am running mac os x but i am switching to yellow dog linux 3.0. i do not have too much money to spend right now in software for my mac. they are nice but too expensive. ydl 3.0 comes with everything i need for only $60. i am tired of paying so much to upgrade my os.
also, someday i would like to try Morph OS or Zeta.
– 2501
ps: my wife doesn’t want to switch. she hates windows and wants to stay with mac. what can I do????????
At work, windows. Since I don’t have a say in the matter, I don’t vote for it.
At home, BeOS 90%. I use windows to d/l photos from my camera and occasionally to run Paintshop Pro. I keep a Mandrake partion for a single app that I haven’t managed to find a beOS equivalent for (it’s a database), but I haven’t booted that up in months. Everything else I do in BeOS.
I use OpenBSD on almost all of my computers. I’ve just got 2 sparcstations that (still) have Solaris on them. One of them has 2 cpu’s, so can’t run OpenBSD, well, maybe I’ll give NetBSD a try on it
But apparently, not many people use BSD on the desktop, apart from OS X maybe.
LOL…wow…talk about an insult to BSD…LOL
j/k
but seriously, since almost nobody is using the HURD on a daily basis, and probably never will be, you can basically attribute 99.99% of those votes to BSD
Alas, my poor laptop doth not run BSD as well as Linux, so I had to vote for Linux instead of my beloved BSD, maybe my next laptop will be a better one for it
There’s only one reason why I currently use XP (but not most of the time):
KazaA Lite
I can’t get it running fast and stable _enough_ to use it under Linux…
MLdonkey [ http://www.mldonkey.net/ ] handles Kazaa very well, and it also handles eDonkey, Overnet, Bittorrent, Gnutella, Gnutella2 (Shareaza), Soulseek, Direct-Connect, and Opennap. It’s the best P2P client I’ve ever seen.
IRIX is one of the coolest systems, easy to use, fast and reliable and it has Indigo Magic desktop, OpenGL extensions for games and freeware is up2date.
at work we’re forced to use XP and 2000… at home, the migration to running 100% linux is slowed down by some banks supporting windows-only authentication methods and also by the fact that most of my mp3 and movie collection is on NTFS and i don’t want to use Fat32, and i don’t know how to convert it to ext3 or another journalling linux file format… yet 😉
I am like Eugenia. I have several computers with different OSes on them. The fascination of how they work is endless to me.
I use Mac OS X the most, followed closely by XP Pro and Linux. I’m a lifetime Mac user, so it is perhaps natural that I continue in that vein. But, when I got the public beta of XP, I knew this wasn’t Windows Me! XP is great and solid as a rock!
I have many Linux distros and, although I understand when people say there are too many distros, I must say how much I’ve learned about computing by way of all these distros. I mostly use Red Hat 9 and Lycoris. So, from one end of the spectrum to the other. And I use SuSE and many others. I’ve learned so much from Linux.
And I use BeOS still. I can’t help it 🙂
I would like to learn to use Darwin, FreeBSD and QNX. I am all excited because I got a Sun Ultra 5 and monitor on eBay for a pretty small amount of money. All documentation is coming with it too – Solaris, here I come!!
Linux on the laptop, QNX on the desktop.
I spend most of my time at work (~40hr/week) in front of a HP PA-RISC workstation (running HP-UX 11.00).
At home (~15hr/week) it’s approx. 50/50 between W2k and some flavor of Linux (I also have a machine running OpenBSD as fw/router – but I’m usually not directly logged in so that doesn’t count as “using” it, right?).
It would be good to have a new poll which asked people which OS they were using *right now*, and then checked this with the voter’s browser type and OS they were running on when they accessed the poll. You could get this from the request headers.
Then you could have a graph showing what people claimed, and how many lied.
5 years ago i started migrating to linux for work: now the only os used hat home abd at work (between many windows) is linux. my family too. my mother too! she has all what she needs.
tetractis
I have been Windows free for my personal usage for over a year now–what do I use, you ask? BeOS 5 Pro on a Dual Pentium III system, and on an AMD K6-2 system as well. I do the things I want to do and need to do, without making Billy G. one cent richer, at least with my own money. I can e-mail, surf, rip and listen to MP3s, watch DivXs, chat (on MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, and IRC), make webpages, play enough games to keep me happy, and serve personal webpages, and various other things, all with this sometimes overlooked/underrated OS. What other OSes do I use with the other <10% of my time that I’m not using BeOS? Normally, OS/2 on an IBM PS/2 Model 77 or DR-DOS on one of the other PS/2s that I have laying around. Of course, I do realize that I”m not exactly Joe Public.
I have 4 of my own machines running Linux (Mandrake9.1, RedHat7.3 for a server, MNF for a firewall, Slack9.0), and my wife is running Mandrake 9.1 on her machine. Going to be moving the fileserver to OpenBSD3.3 in a few days though. We are not anti-Windows zealots (well, I am :-)), my wife and I just found that there was nothing Windows could do that Linux couldn’t, and we get to ignore pretty much all viruses, and aren’t forced to upgrade anything. For the price of XP up here (CAN$299) we can buy a single distro, put it on all our machines, and get that shiny new hdd for the server!
If I run windows XP, but always have unix apps exported onto my desktop running an X11 server, and using terminals to do mail/etc on all on other BSD servers most of my actual user<->computer IO is via BSD. However, Windows is still installed on my machine.
I’m trying my best to blur the line between my different computers and their OSes, so this question seems kind of backwards-thinking to me
At work I use Win2k as a workstation since we use a remedy ticket system and I have soooooooooo many network tools.
I use OS9 on a G4 at home because, well I don’t really like OSX yet. I will give it time to mature, get faster, get less like Unix.
Because it breaks down a bit like this:
At work I have a Mac running OS X and a PC running Redhat 9.
However, I use them to adminster servers running OS X, Redhat 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0, FreeBSD 4.7, 5.x and Solaris 7, 8 and 9 (on E10ks, no less
.
At home I have a Windows XP/98 machine, but I mainly only use it for games. I also have a FreeBSD firewall a Redhat 9.0 server and a laptop running XP.
I had a PB 667, but was disgusted by how slow it was. I’d like another Mac, but I’ve yet to use one that’s even close to being what I’d call “responsive”, so I’m holding out to see if the next generation of Macs are fast enough.
You should compare the submission with the actual OS they use when submitting. You can acquire OS type from HTTP header the browser sent.
I have been on a dvd/divx encoding binge over the past few weeks. I have yet to find a system that is easier to do this on and more stable in the proccess than XP. Windows 2k crashed constantly, freebsd port of dvd|rip is broken, and Linux just crashed crashed crashed. I am not bashing the unices here! The tools available and the stability of the system make it very hard for me to turn my back on Bill in this instance.
If anyone can make suggestions as to how this can be done as efficiently with a U let me know. I would love to hear suggestions!
I removed my Windows installation and installed Linux (RH9) except for on one computer for the wife. However I did create an account for her on the Linux box and she currently goes back and forth between both computers (about 50/50).
How will these results compare to the web server’s logs? Can this poll page be isolated from the logs, and the user agents added up to see how the results compare to the real data?
Unfortunately, windows is required at work, but at home….Linux….but I spend more time on a computer at work than at home 🙁
…..want to switch…but just one more game of Half-life………
Face it: Wine X doesn’t work for everything. Other than that, and Abelton’s Live, I can’t think of many windows programs that don’t have a linux counterpart.
Over the past week I’ve gone from Windows XP Pro to Mandrake 9.1 to Windows 2000 as my main OS. Windows XP is wonderful most of the time, but I’ve been having problems with my internet connection in XP. When it’s disconnected I have to restart Windows before I can reconnect. It was annoying enough to make me give Linux a try as my main OS.
Mandrake 9.1 installed easily enough and overall seems like the best Linux desktop so far. I even managed to upgrade to the latest version of KDE without any problems. But I couldn’t get my dual-headed display working or get a resolution higher than 1024×768. Then SWSUSP crashed the OS, causing damage that’s stopped a lot of things working. It was an interesting experience, but there’s no way I’m willing put up with this much hassle in my main OS.
So now I’m back using Windows 2000 as my main OS and I’m having trouble remembering why I ever bothered upgrading to XP. 2K is easily the best version of Windows I’ve used, everything is working perfectly and to me it feels faster than XP.
Well, linux is the system of my choice. Using the free operating system for both, server and desktop purpose. However, FreeBSD got it’s beauty as well..it would be a real alternative to Linux. Jails are just great
“…..want to switch…but just one more game of Half-life………
Face it: Wine X doesn’t work for everything.”
Wine and WineX may not work for everything, but if there is one thing they do work for, it’s Half-Life. I’ve been playing HL, CS and DOD on Linux for a year now, with no significant drop in framerate or instability problem. There was a problem with the Valve Anti-Cheat for a few weeks last year, but it was promptly solved. I used to use WineX, but now I use mostly Wine since it can work with Cheating-Death (WineX doesn’t).
I also like the fact that I can play in a windowed desktop, which lets me check my mail, etc. while playing.
Primary OS, eh? My primary OS is Gentoo Linux of course. Why would you want to use anything else?
http://www.gentoo.org/
Hi, my name is Adan and I use Windows XP most of the time.
Because most of my time is spent on my work computer. Really, it’s not that bad for work, at home however it’s Mandrake Linux all the way. But I use my work computer far more often. Like evilEntity said, if everyone voted ONCE and HONESTLY with all the work computers we use, how many companies or universities, in my case want to use something other than Windows. Heck we have a contract with them where I can get cheap Windows software and OS’s for my own use. Most places have contracts with MS it seems so yeah, if everyone voted honestly, Windows would be way ahead like eE said…
Why there isn’t any link to view results without voting (i’ve voted before on another machine and would like to see what the results are now)?
Gentoo is the messiah of Linux distros, period. A lot has been said about it already, so I needn’t say more.
Win2k on 2 shuttle boxes. Mostly for P2P and gaming purposes. Laptop runs FreeBSD 5.1, may add a dual boot of 2k to that as well. I’m hoping to get a new Epia based system which will run either FreeBSD or some Linux flavor depending on what will run and how aggravating it is to get IR up and running on it.
Mandrake 9.1 and on the older computer Debian 3.0r1 (stable)
also got a powerbook with OsX.
I also use gentoo …. it’s fantastic!
I want to get MS and that poseur Gates out of my life. It is only when you try to do that that you see how completely Gates has undermined or eliminated choice in the software industry with his monopoly.
I have tried Knoppix and Vector and Suse and Mandrake. Installing Mandrake 9.1 was doomed from the start. All that worked, and remains on my system to my dismay, is its boot manager. The installation was full of bugs.
Vector was nice and has possibilities but I need further experience w it. It seemed a bit primitive.
Suse by far was the best of what LINUX OSs I’ve tried, but some programs didn’t work. When I opened it’s YAST 2 window and saw scores of listed conflicts in program packages, written in the usual recondite Linuxese–all of which Suse loaded–I realized that this entire Linux package system, in any distro, is –arguably–the fatal flaw in Linux, and the chief obstacle in allowing me to replace Windows with it.
The orchestra is playing MS’s song and even if I hate that song, I find myself humming it all day long.
Except it won’t actually prove anything to check the Browser headers vs what the people say. Konquerer has the option to edit the headers you send. Some sites require IE and can be fooled by changing headers. Some browsers won’t send the OS info unless you tell them too. And so on….
I suppose you could put down “Doesn’t Match” next to those entries, but that still won’t really tell you much. How many are lying, and how many just don’t send the right headers?
Work: 3 office cube machines ( RH 7.3,7.2, Mandrake )
Home: 1 floppyfw dialing firewall ( 2.4.20 kern )
2 36″ Destination TV’s ( Win98/Win98se with dual RH8)
1 P4 laptop ( RH 7.3 / XP Pro – rarely under XP )
2 P2/P3 for kids ( Win98SE – hey they have Open Office )
1 TIVO – hey its linux somewhere down there
90% of my online time is in a Red Hat KDE desktop although the TV’s are technically running 98 when we watch junk like “The amazing race” <grin>. But I think my linux answer is truthful given the TV’s aren’t showing a desktop and the TIVO and floppyfw are up too.
Dave
I for one am honest, and I *do* use linux 90% of them time. I only boot into windows on the weekends to play some games.
The rest of the time its linux-only
(If you must know, Gentoo, KDE 3.1.2. Slackware 9, flux, and Slackware 8.1 and WindowMaker. Obviously the gentoo one is my desktop)
OS X.
My very first experience with a computer was a Mac that I played games on in the eighties while my mom was working on her PhD, and I used DOS in high school. The first time I ever did any actual work was on a Unix system — my first college class after high school was a programming class taught in c; we used gcc as the compiler.
As an undergrad, I didn’t have my own computer and mostly used the school’s Sun workstations, which I fell in love with. I started using Linux when I got my first programming job for the Physics Dept. They were using Redhat 5.2 when I started. The idea of being able to run a Unix-like operating system on cheap hardware was so suductive that after taking a year off and making some money, my first computer was bought from the guy up the street and I installed Redhat 7.3 Now I’m taking summer break from getting my master’s in financial math and using my Redhat 8 box to develop a client-server Java app that is going to be deployed on Windows machines. Java does indeed rock.
The only problem I have is getting kazaa to work under wine. I haven’t really had the time to work on that; anybody have any suggestions?
ok.. I got proof. lol
http://bsd-unix.org/images/desktop.jpg (FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE)
…at home… (MDK Linux 9.1)
And windows 2k at work. But that’s different. *I* didn’t choose that OS.
linux at home… dual screen Suse8 as my little server for just about anything and mandrake 9 on my laptop.
Win2k at work and yes … at home 2… I’m actually typing this on an w2k laptop. If only damn linksys ( or broadcom for that matter ) brought out drivers for their wireless 54g cards 8/
My desktop at home and laptop for work both run RH Linux v9. I also have an old Dell running win98 (just keeping it for some stupid compatibility issues with M$ proprietaries). My 4 year old comfortably works on Linux (and my wife too). I mention my 4 year old because of the usability of Linux to end users. The most commonly used apps by my 4 year old are
Mozilla
Games
Openoffice
As my win98 also run Mozilla and Openoffice she doesn’t feel much of the difference. That is what exactly we want in the world of computing don’t we. Say good bye to M$. Latest news is that M$ bought a Anti-Virus company to kill the product line that runs on Linux.
Jumped from Windows 95 to Mac OS X. Still use Windows 95 sometimes for MIDI editing of hardware. Can’t wait for Panther.
For: working (office), playing (multimedia), programming (C/C++), learning, surfing, networking… use linux.
For: gaming (few, not playable from linux) use windows.
I don’t play games alot 😉
I don’t play games alot 😉 : aherm: buy an xbox you can run linux on it too … I know I do…
What else?
Gentoo linux is great. The best flavor of Linux I’ve ever tried. Sure, every OS has problems, but there’s nothing like a freshly compiled app with the work done for you =). Gentoo’s package management system (“Portage”) will wget your package, md5, unpack, compile, and install it with one command.
These are some of the pros and cons that I have observed while using it almost a year now:
PROS
-Everything is compiled and optimized for your own system
-Gentoo is fast.
-Dependencies are auto-compiled for you. (Awesome!)
–You decide exactly what is on your system and what isn’t. Everything from boot loader to kernel to WM.
-Everything is well documented. There are a lot of posts in their forums, and a quick look can solve many problems. The install documentation is thorough and clear.
-If you didn’t know much before you tried to install it, you will.
-RC-UPDATE! you don’t have to bother with /etc/inittab; a gentoo script called rc-update will manage it for you.
CONS
-Compile time can sometimes get annoying.
-You have to be competient in a linux environment (a.k.a. no pretty gui configurators and installers are bundled with the OS). Probably not for someone converting directly from Windows.
-The initial install time can be 2,3 days to just get X and maybe a desktop environment.
I am very comfortable with my Gentoo system. =)
</rant>
2K3 is XP, just practially everything is running in Ring 0 in the kernal.
You realise that’s just bollocks right?
I am a fan of OS/2 Warp 3.0 & eComStation(located at os/2world.com & ecomstation.com.)These operationing systems are vastly supperior(my own opinion)to their Windows’ counterpart at the time they came out,Warp 3.0 in ’95 & eComStation in 2002!
Unfortunately,IBM got it’s you-know-what handed to it in the ‘PC-preloading war’ by Bill Gates and his fellow billionares(too numerous to mention at Microsoft!)
If you got a problem with me flamming the ‘Wintel’ monopley; COME ON DOWN to East Los Angeles!
I don’t have a primary OS because I run more than one on a regular basis. I run WinXP Pro, Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, Win2K Server, Mac OS X, and Mac OS 9.2.1–all on different systems.
I can choose the machine best suited to the task at hand.
Shock! Horror! A non-geek in your midst.
A lowly home user & part-time writer. GoBe’s great.
This is my first computer bought end-2000, Pentium III with Win98 pre-installed, And I knew nothing about PC’s or O/S’s, and learned what I could from mags. & the Web. Within 6 weeks was frustrated with the hassles. Then I found BeOS, a novice’s dream, so fast, user-friendly & stable.
Now with a more capable browser [Mozilla], I rarely boot into Windows at all, I don’t have to, nor have to keep up with the Joneses with hardware upgrades. There’s only a few things I use Windows for that aren’t available to me in BeOS & these are of no interest to you folk cos I’m not a geek. And it goes without saying that I’m hoping Zeta comes through.
The future that seems to be mapped out by Microsoft worries me, but Linux is beyond me without a helping hand. And what makes it worse, it’s Debian I aspire to [from my research] So with an eye towards an uncertain future, I’m about to experiment with 2 pseudo-Linux desktop distros tailored to
the terminally clueless. You never know, this :insurance plan” might work for me if Zeta doesn’t come through.
Anyway, I’m pretty much a full-time user of a very minority O/S. I use BeOS for mail, watch video, play music, RipEnc encodes ogg & mp3’s, I do my writing & on-line everything in BeOS, Pineapple’s a great newsreader, I’m a happy camper as well as a, what is it now, two per center.
[back to lurking]
Well Gentoo for me
I also use SunOS and AIX and CrapOS(aka XP) at work but Gentoo the most, it’s the best Linux dirsto I have found. also works well on my laptop.
I’ve slowly been moving from windows to linux at home over the last 5 years or so. When I started, my useage was something like 90% windows, 10% linux. Now, it’s 10% windows (if that) 90% linux.
I have two boxes, one winxp for games and paintshop pro which is turned off most of the time, and a gentoo box with three monitors. Ironically enough, it was lack of support in win2k/xp for my three cards (1 agp, 2xpci) that marked the switch to linux as my main desktop os. I’ve tried lots of different RPM distros over the years (redhat, corel, suse, redhat again, mandrake etc) and the relief of switching to gentoo, and being able to install or uninstall software as soon as it comes out, without breaking half the os when I upgrade… I did look at debian and slackware, but when you compare the debian or mandrake forums to the gentoo forums, there is simply no contest at all.
Oh, and before I’m accused of ignoring my work computer, my main desktop at work is gentoo, my laptop is gentoo/win2k, and 3 out of the 6 servers I maintain are suse or gentoo.
I do spend at least half my working day repairing windows 2k boxes, but that’s not exactly using, is it… Even including that though, linux edges it overall in total.
And yes, I did post this from gentoo/mozilla firebird
I did. use w2k ’cause that’s what I have at work. At home it’s probabbly 70% win XP, 25% RH Linux and 5% mac OS X.
However I dodn’t think this a “normal” site due to it’s nature. I suspect there is a much higher percentage of uses of other OS then windows.. but this is all meaningless.. it they just posted the stats from thier server.. we could see what OS are being used.
75% of the time it’s BeOS. BeOS for web surfing,word proccessing,mail,music,Tv,video,newsgroups,coding python(novice). WinXPpro for proprietary apps, camera, mp3 player. Win98 for legacy apps (old). RedHat Linux for keeping up problem solving skills!. All on a Pentium lll 500
eCS V1.1 is my main system, With Suse Linux 8.1 and unfortunatly WindowsXP Crap for 2 programs
“Why always listen to the women? You deserve better, have it your way:) Unless you really don’t know how to use another system and use this as a lame excuse:)”
…you don’t know my wife…:)
Seriously, I use XP on my “house” machine & on both laptops, but I have OSX on an old PowerMac7600 (thanks to Xpostfacto) and RH 9 and BeOS on my dual PIII box. Problem is that both of these boxes are in my workshop 100 yards from the house. It’s great fun playing with and learning from different OS’s, but it was either the computers or the big screen tv
..
OK – I voted from Windows cos that’s where I was when I noticed this poll & I wasn’t quite sure when the poll would close.
But when I booted into BeOS, which is my main O/S, that’s when I posted my comment. And I voted only once.
[oh ye of little faith]
I use AmigaOS 3.1 most of the time, but it´s running in WinUAE,a emulator which is running on WinXP.
XP is not that bad and the emulator is faster than a real 68k amiga provided that the programs doesn´t use the custom chips.
Win2k all the way baby.
Count me in…
I have been using BeOS on and off (mostly off) for the past 7+ years. Yet, in the past 2 years i have used it as my primary for about 18 months of that time. I do internet sales, research, programming, porting software, and much much more. There are limits, but I have it installed on 8 of my 10 machines, running quad, dual and single hardware, from PP 200s on the quad, to AMD 1.4 Ghz on the singles. The level of drivers has become tolerable in the past 18 months, and such I still see myself using BeOS as my fulltime OS until either I begin programming professionally again (after a time of retirement) or I simply give up on Zeta ever being delivered and go with OSX. Either way, I have to say, there is NOTHING as enjoyable as BeOS from a speed, consistancy and usability, as long as it is not out of the realm of normal operation for me. Doing Photoshop crap is not my normal mode of operation. Online email, cropping photos, adjusting color correction and so forth is most definitely. ArtPaint, MailerReplacment, drivers for devices (many many are now good to go), and more. ffmpeg for video compression into divx/avi and more. I can honestly say that within 30 days of working to learn the OS as it is today, someone can and will do as much or more with it than other OSes. I have used and programmed on many, OSX, NeXTStep, Windows, QNX, BeOS and Linux. I choose BeOS for various reasons, mostly I don’t like Linux bloatware, M$ cost ware, OSX slowware, and QNX lack of ware. BeOS is the right mix for me, others should check it out. Oh, as screwed up as BeShare is, Tycom server in particular, it is a great resource for learning and getting answers to common questions. Without that resource it takes a lot longer to learn what programs will let you accomplish your goals. http://www.bebits.com also. I hope this helps, my perspective, biased and unbiased.
mac X
no disrespec to yo b*tch, but i heard “she takes it up the arse”
baaaaaamb!
how lots of you alternative (Be, UNIX, whatever) guys like to brag about the fact that you are actually posting from that OS, as if its some major feat. Damn you guys are cool
Woooot! wOOOOt
I know a better poll: Who uses their computer to get punani, and how?
BAAAAM\==
Using eComStation 1.1 here exclusively.
No fears of windoze viruses or microsoft spying on me. I can sleep safe at night. 🙂
windoze too soft, Linux too hard, eCS just right.
I have 4 main systems running at home serving several purposes. One thing they all share is OS/2, every system from a P133 to an Athlon has either Warp 4 or eCS 1.1 on it. My main Athlon system is a quad boot with eCS 1.1, BeOS Max 2, RH Linux 9.0 and Win2K Pro. I’m in eCS 95% of the time. I use eCS to work, Linux to learn, BeOS to play, and Win2K for digital camera pic DLs only.
I’ve used OS/2 since 1992 and V 2.1 (banner on my wall for 2.1!) and have found no reason to change. It does everything I need and want. I will use it until it will no longer run on the available hardware (and will have a floppy drive until then too). I find Linux an interesting possible alternative but I’m so spoiled with the object orientation of OS/2…want to change a font in a window? Drag font there, font is changed. Try that in anything else, and it did that in 1992 when M$ had Program Manager (which runs in a little window on my desktop in OS/2). Contrary to reports, OS/2 is not dead, it’s getting better all the time! http://www.ecomstation.com/
Using eComstation 1.1 for my desktop, No windows, no Linux, my web server and mail server is eCcomStation,
All my accounting, DTP, Wordprocessing is accomplished with out the need of windows.
