I use Windows at work and home. I just don't develop it.

I wish I had the knowhow to jump from one OS to another. I have been brainswashed with Windows and that is the only truth I know. :hehe:

So, what do you develop then if Linux is out of the question.. Mac OS?

krim: hahahaha.. just playing.. i actually envy people who can use any OS platform. the most change I did was instead of using Internet Explorer was use Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird instead of Outlook at home..

Edit.. durr.. mentioned already that 'doodles uses windows at work.. so what are the kernels for? i confused..

Well, I guess it's Unix then... or FreeBSD or something else.

I'm having problems with just using those system. I managed to configure successfully a Samba server a few minutes ago. It took me a few days, so I'm very far away from being able to program on it. :ashamed:

Now time to party. :yippee: :drink:

Nope, one flavor of UNIX. Not for Sun, and not IBM.

:rofl:
Sometimes I think I took a few red pills and black ones with happy faces too. :beaten: :nut:

The ones I know: FreeBSD, Linux, Dos, Windows, MacOS, Solaris, Unix, BeOS and Novell. I'm sure there are others for stuff like cellphone, PDA and game consoles. :confused:

Yep, those are all UNIX variants, I had the 'fortune' of working on z/OS :usuck: at one point. Very very picky OS.

Linux is Unix-like and was based from Minix (a really-tiny Unix-like OS used in universities to teach OS...I took this class). How many OSes are there?? Yikes I wouldn't know.

Bunchkins I bet you did.. hahahahaha..

It's like wading through trecherous waters.. I better get back in the Windows lifeboat. :rofl: I won't go deeper into the rabbit hole.

Thanks, 'doodles, shindou and 'bunchkins for the quickie info..

My brain suddenly stopped working. It has reached its information threshold for the day...

Found a list. I don't even know one quarter of them. :confused:
