kongit Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 1) firefox 2) xmms 3) don't use one normally but gaim is very nice 4) www.linuxquestions.org and www.gooeylinux.org 5) aisle riot solitaire or Frozen Bubble 6) Slacware and gentoo. I am using fedora and actually am enjoying it now that I have succesfully recompiled several major aspects and gotten them fast and done some extensive hacking of confs and other system setting files.

MG-Cloud Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 1) Firefox (Epiphany's a close second! :D) 2) Good question. For music only, I use beep-media-player. For anything with video (including dvds), I use mplayer (which plays nearly every video format you throw at it), which also supports browser-embedded movies using mplayerplug-in. 3) I use gaim, mainly because it supports several protocols. I've been meaning to switch to more protocol-specific programs though, so I can take advantage of unique MSN features such as avatars. 4) http://forums.gentoo.org 5) I play starcraft using wine. If you want a native linux game, I play mah-jong a bit against the comp ;) 6) OS = Linux ;) Favourite WM/DE? Probably a cross between GNOME2.6 and fluxbox - fluxbox for performance, GNOME for looks and integration. Distro? Gentoo :) Sorry about the answer to #6 - was not sure what you meant by OS.

The kernel is Linux. :yes: As far as I'm concerned, the OS is the code that manages system resources such as ram, allows access to disks and performs other low-level stuff. In which case that's the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Don't be sorry about it. I was just having a bit of silly fun on a subject where there are so many opinions, and the end result is that in Linux everyone has the freedom to set it up exactly how they like it (text-only, twm, flux, icewm, gnome, kde or many, many others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
