Linux or Unix???

February 26, 2007

Well i have settled into Linux very well! Found a alternative program for everything here is my basic list:

Microsoft Office: OpenOffice

Internet & Email: Firefox & Evoloution

Programming: NetBeans 5.5 Java IDE

Desktop Publishing: Scribus

Music: Rythmbox Music Player

I am interested in many different computer software, and would really like to try Solaris. But the screenshots show a complicated terminal-style installation. If this was a live-cd and easy to install i would definitely consider it. I do require a office suite, yet Sun didn’t include this in the operating system. Now everyone needs a browser, and every operating system has a browser. Sun didn’t even put this in the system. They really have left allot of holes in their alternative to Micro$oft Window$ XP & Vi$ta. Maybe in the 11 release they might patch these flaws. My message to Window$ switchers, if your confident with computers go for it. But if you want to play it safe, Ubuntu 6.10 is your choice. If Sun decided to put boxed versions of Solaris for $30 when i buy a computer, i would buy that as well. I definitely know now never to order a PC with Window$ pre-installed!!! You are paying probably a $100 for software you wont use. I won’t do it again. Will you???
