But it's the hard way. We're not all computer-experts, and we're not all able to install such a thing. I highly doubt it's better than macOs X to be honest - it's based on an open-sourced UNIX code called Darwin, just like Linux (okay not all are darwin, but most are UNIX). Linux brings you that far if you're into ICT. But if you want a computer to run the programs normal people need you'de better go for the well-known and installed sets of OS. Like MacOS X or Windows. Nice suggestion of ducking out of the way. But i'm not the one to pull the trigger over here, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can choose to do it the hard way if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubuntu was one of the easiest instalations I ever did, right there next to XP. But Vista somehow managed to be even more idiot proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Try Ubuntu, nowadays linux is easier to install than windows xp/2000. But you can choose to do it the hard way if you like. The problem lies in the lack of professional software. I don't have photoshop (GIMP does not replace it), nor illustrator, nor InDesign. Ubuntu is a new rising OS. Still I find MacOS X or Windows Vista for that latter a much more reliable solution. You get the basic application, but on the professional front you're screwed. I like the open-source stuff, but one of them should step up and get into talking to the big guys. Okay, the big guys lately have been limited to mostly Adobe, but okay. Get them aboard and you got an OS. Don't, and you fail. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Make your own pc. You can make a machine for £900 and outperform a £2000 XPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
