os because it is easier since all the servers are in *nix

my question for you tech talk:

gnome or kde?

9/15/2008 7:07:49 PM

Either one. I haven't run linux for a while. I usually install both gnome and kde and change it up every now and then.

9/15/2008 7:18:22 PM

I used to like KDE but really you can customize gnome so much that I just use it and mess around with/remove unnecessary panels

9/15/2008 7:26:40 PM

maaaaaaan i haven't used nix regularly since red hat was cool

9/15/2008 7:36:58 PM

so red hat isnt cool anymore

thats too bad because tech has a site license

9/15/2008 7:54:37 PM

i've got RHEL on one of the desktops in my office, and i'm cool

i used to like KDE but recently switched to gnome

9/15/2008 8:21:42 PM

Neither

I use KDE for no real reason. Its the first one I started using and I've gotten used to it. I'm a slow man to change

9/15/2008 8:59:11 PM

i like freespire in theory, but their implementation sucks donkey balls

kubuntu

9/15/2008 9:07:34 PM

flux box with the base gnome libraries running so you can run most apps

i used to run slackware back in the day, bitches.

9/15/2008 9:09:02 PM

does the fact that im using a resurrected Dell Dimension 8100 with a 1.3 GHz P4 and 1024 MB of ECC RDRAM make a difference?

so why call it *nix? is that referring to unix or linux?

not to hijack this thread but i am a ubuntu n00b
what do i need to install on ubuntu to access oracle server which is on a windows machine? I use toad on my laptop to connect from windows but i recently installed ubuntu on dual boot and want to access the oracle db from it

ubuntu has been pissing me off recently. it's been locking up a lot. i've had my old desktop with XP running for about 2 weeks now and my relatively new laptop with ubuntu can't stand to be run more than 24 hours at a time before the sound goes out, programs refuse to start up, and finally, the system menu stops responding. i have to ctrl+alt+backspace and reboot. i think maybe ubuntu just has too much shit on it to be stable like debian is.

im only using ubuntu for one file server because i liked how it installed no services by default

its only set up for command line

i think its 7.10
