Linux Vs Win

[winblowz]

Ive heard so many times that lnux is more stable than any ms sys. I also have experienced this. Why is a unix based sys more stable than an ms? Is it?

thanks for advice

its all about the file structure and the way the OS runs on the hardware. Linux is more stable b/c it is trying to do less so there is less chance of it getting confused or losing information bits. Microsoft products have so much crap going on they are always crashing themselves.

ok i think i get it, thanks. I heard that ms source code was stolen a while ago. I searched for it on Limewire... AND THERE IT WAS! too much for me 56 k though lol

Did you ever wonder Why ms doesnt want people to see their source?

lol

This is a never ending debate .... Personally ..i would have migrated totally to Linux ...if only more game developers started supporting Linux.

Here are a few threads that u can take a look at ...

Do you see a dropoff in performance when using Wine?

If your a gamer, don't go with linux.

But, if your a gamer like me you'll have a dual boot set up

By the way...WINE sucks. I can't even get it to run Adobe Photoshop 7 Properly or most Proggys for that matter.

if i haev a dvd drive, can i rip dvds to my hdd and put them in AVI format?

 

[waynejkruse10]

how i understand it is that unix uses programs that do 1 thing very stable and well.
but windows code can do many things that it gets the os confused etc.
im not sure if thats right.
but thats how i understand it.
