Hi, |
| 2 |
thanks Duncan. I have renamed this since the topic has changed and it |
| 3 |
isn't really relevant to updating. Has anyone seen this months new |
| 4 |
scientist? There's an article about OS's used for browsing. It gives |
| 5 |
the percentages of different OS used to browse the www. Windows is by |
| 6 |
far the most and Linux has only a few percent, in the UK. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
An old colleague of mine proposed it was because ms-farce is 'better'. |
| 9 |
I pointed out could it not be due to people in the UK generally being |
| 10 |
uneducated or lazy. Since at Manchester in our lab we use Fedora as |
| 11 |
it's quick to install and very easy to use so undergrads don't get |
| 12 |
intimidated. If I had my way, Debian would be better for the majority |
| 13 |
of systems with Gentoo on the Opterons. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I have found Gentoo to be excellent due to it's configurability (is this |
| 16 |
a word) and speed. I have no intention of changing now however, I am |
| 17 |
always 'on-the-lookout for a superior workstation so I may change in the |
| 18 |
future to ia64 Gentoo. Are Iitanium machines the best (robust/speed). |
| 19 |
Or, are the Opterons or athlon64 better. For that matter how do amd |
| 20 |
machines differ? |
