DaNIsH Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 gentoo, cause portage is the best! Beat me to it :D Gentoo seems to hard for me. The install is time consuming (if you do a stage 1), but other than that it's simple IMO. Installation has a huge guide that covers all areas (unless you have some non-standard hardware), and after that it's usually one command to do anything.

beh Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I wouldn't like linux nearly asmuch as i do if it wasn't for gentoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Heh, I know I'll get flamed for this, but I'll say Win98 is actually a decent "alternative OS" now, especially with something like 98lite removing stuff... it'll boot and run stably for a lot of tasks on a P/100 laptop and it can make an Athlon XP 3200+ feel like a 3500+ for a few seconds :-P. Aside from that, Debian. Debian everywhere. Debian makes my babies. Never mind the 2 year gestation period... Edit: And OS/2 Warp (3, never played with 4 - I've got a box full of XDF floppies for 3 :no:) had the coolest shell, evar, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 My favourate alternative OS is "Windows XP Professional" (dunno if anyone's heard of it before?). This guy called bill came up with the idea and it's easy to use and has a lot of software support! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Gentoo 2004.2 Stage 1 Install. Because unless you kernel hack, there is no faster :p I use stage 3 install, but over time you'll get a stage1 equiv as portage updates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
