Mandrake 8.2 at this moment but I have used SuSE and Red Hat. At work I am mainly, 99.9%, in a Unix environment and the tool set (vi, grep, sed, awk, shell scripting) available on Unix/Linux is not available on MS. > >Which OS do you use for computer chess related stuff? Why? Linux. I am using SCID, Crafty, Xboard and recently Yace for my chess environment. These applications give me everything the commercial applications provide minus a few bells and whistles. > >Do you make use of more than one OS? If so, which OS's and for what purposes? My Laptop is dual boot to Windows 2000 or Linux. I have an Oracle based application running on Windows that I don't have the expertise to convert from Oracle Power Objects to Java (or Perl or PHP, etc). Eventually I will get that done. Oracle runs on Linux and I am running 9i there and 8i on Windows. I boot Windows only when I need to get to that Oracle app. Perhaps twice a month. My main reason for going Linux is that I refuse to run Windows XP. Windows 2000 will be the last MS release for me and now Wal-Mart is selling PC's with Linux installed, Lindows, and real modems.
