You have him confused with the democrat party Oh wait he is one too. Never mind Bill Gates is even worse than jobs sad to say.

Well, you don't have to get a permission from Microsoft to install software on your system, like...... hmmmmmm what's the name of that phone again?

Well I run Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop as my core platform, so I'm not really relying on Mr. Gates at all......

yes, agree.....
Run Linux: Ubuntu, Open SUSE, Suse Enterprise Desktop, Fedora, Redhat or whatever.....
and run all your other systems in Virtualbox which is Opensource and free and works beautifully......

Just build a Linux box and run Mac in a virtual machine, I do it on my PC for testing stuff....

So what your saying is you run a MAC from time to time...

LinuxMint has been my favorite for a couple of years now. Basically Ubuntu done right, can't beat that.

Hey you quit surfing the net and go make some money. There is an RXV-2600 sitting in my theater room in a box with your name on it

LOL umm yeah that's funny. When are you coming up ?

Yeah it was the same way with me brother. I feel your pain!

Hopefully I go back to work, don't have time and see you here for the ride to Rick's.

Isn't that bad for the hard drive?

Well I wiped the Ubuntu off because I was not all that impressed with the speed. This is a 3ghz P4 machine with two gigs or ram and it felt a little slower than I thought it should be. I installed OpenSuse and it is quite a bit faster. Any thoughts on why that would be? Should I try another distro?

Prescott Era P4 Processors are quite slow compared to todays equivalents,
I'd suggest light distro designed for older machines like Xubuntu or DSL

I think I might throw in a little better video card too. I am Just using the on-board video now.

At least some things he wrecked with a style

You could also try DVL.

No but honestly another distro you might like that is very fast is FreeBSD, it has "ports" which is amazing as it is applications from basically every other distro ported into FreeBSD.
