could be worse...
i used to have 3pcs here, one with solaris on it... that was a ballache when it came to "refreshing" the network...

also, I took a college course (VNC IT) and I had to teach the entire class how to clear of a pc and install the required O/S, because we had to show Linux/windows, I had to do it like half a dozen times to show dual boot, single boot etc...long arduous, and boring process...
I left the course, and vowed to never be far from a decent ghost of my hard drive.

lol thank god my course isn't that in depth :|
i get really annoyed with anything that low level, hardware just doesn't like me.

I'm still ashmed ive never installed a linux distro, i messed about with beos for a bit but i dont have the patience to set everything up :S

it's not worth messing with. MS are so quickly updating and correcting their errors, that holding *nix on a home pc is pointless, you would have to sort out a vast array of hardware issues, and then half your software wouldn't work...

thats what ive always figured, i nearly went to uni in northampton, and all they're computing machines were Unix, which seemed crazy to me cos how many companies use unix on all theyre desktops?

quiet lucky at derby, we're affiliated with MS and get nearly everything for free :slayer:

Winner!

well, there is a lot of use for *nix machines. They still run the best for networking and being customisable. And you can implement *nix and windows quite easily. People have every day access to windows, so why bother teaching them somnething most know already, that they can practise at home, *nix is worth learning to some extent, just not on your own pc, cos it's a damn nightmare at times.

lol, ill get round to it eventually, im about to start a work placement and have to learn enterprise server, which they reckon is really complicated. I've got a copy through uni so might install it and have a fiddle.

I've got a spare machine here i might stick unix on, havn't really got any time though

Unix isn't resource heavy, so any old lump of hardware can run it,
for a while i had a unix server on my home network, it worked a dream, could run all day and all night without slowing down...
but the hardware wasn't quite up to that, and it fried itself.. nay mind.

yes, enterprise is quite complicated, but it's another of those things that once you get your first way around it, it starts to get much easier.

The joys indeed, having fun with that right now, I've had 3 other PC's in my room the last month and my Dad calls it PC World!

Was 6 hours wiping and reloading everything on my main PC the last time.
