i'm system administrator (Windows NT/2000). I use Windows 2000 Advanced Server at home. I don't play games that don't run on it.
2000 is very good made. i like it alot. i hate windows 98/Me and the old NT. Linux/Unix is very powerful. Alot of people are making it. This improves the code. Written in C and this makes it portable. Very fast. Many many other good features. But it still has bad interface. Most user friend is RedHat. But you need to know to program or you can't use linux. I tried several times but its very hard. You choose!

you can use it but it will be very hard for you. if you are going to try linux i recommend downloading the latest redhat. its good for beginners. you must select all your hardware propertly. but if you need to download new drivers they require compiling and here we go. also new programs require compiling an so on.
i know windows 98 sux very much. i reborn when i installed windows 2000. very good performance. remember checking FAT32 filesystem always when you press RESET button, with NTFS filesystem this is not a problem. DON'T NEED TO RESTART WINDOWS EVERY 5 MINUTES. I DON'T RESTART AT ALL. directx included (now ver. 8 available). you can change almost all of the network settings without restarting. you can add almost all of the new hardware without restarting. i remember when i accidently disconnected the power of my harddisk windows freezed for 1 min. and then "you just disconnect device - HARD DISK" message appeared. i was amazed. all new games support it. you can check your supported hardware/software on www.ntcompatible.com. 98/Me are dead and microshit know it. they just want to get people's money.
give it a try. its very gooood compared to the old 98 shit.

hehe...it ain't out quite just yet man. soon though...soon..

windows 2000 is already good. with few registry optimization and corrections you are ready to go. optimization = speed, corrections=security. i recommend windows 2000. i also wanna run linux(also have 2 hard disks), tried few times - but its very hard. you always encounter problems to make the system stable. my windows system is working perfectly. no error messages, no reboots, no blue screens and etc.

unfortuanetly Windows

Posted by Fraggle on Jun-21-2001 00:37:

eh, i think win98 ain't too bad
i used to use them memory managers etc. but after i installed new motherboard & cpu and redid os too, i didn't install the manager and windows is quite stable!!
i used to have to reboot daily, 'cos my computer is on 24/7...but now i can leave it running almost a whole week before i reboot...and in that case only 'cos i think it needs it, not because it starts to crash or do strange things

you cannot compare 98 with 2000. with 2000 i run different applications many times a day and i don't need to reboot.
i'm running web server on my pc, also playing most of the games (CS,Quake3,NFS5,Broodwar) and other applications without need to reboot. also i'm trying different "3rd party" programs which most of the time can crash win 98. before several months i had DUAL BOOT win98/2000. now after my last reinstall(which will be only one for few years forward) i have only 2000.

win98 sucks in my case coz if i run photoshop and and wanna run another prog at the same time its that f*cking slow and likes to crash down!! tho i got 192MB ram!!!!

i�m testing WinME atm on my 2nd HD and runs quite well!!!

Posted by torontotrance on Jun-21-2001 04:14:

I use WINWILL IT CRASH 98 (aka windows). I wish programs did not crash as often as windows but i guess windows is better than other os out there

Posted by imperia on Jun-21-2001 13:12:

check windows 2000 and you will see the difference. w2k is perfect for bussines applications. you can buy more RAM - very cheap at the moment. with 256 w2k will fly.

ya, just chuck some more ram at it
384mb is good for me...i had like two dozen apps open simultaneously once before it ran out of room, i had just installed the new ram and wanted to see how many progs i could run
and there were some big ones too...like photoshop & photopaint, 3ds, word, excel, powerpoint, frontpage, acrobat, winamp with 4000 mp3 list, media player 7 and more heheheh!!

nice test

I'm using Windows 98 which I only installed 2 months ago to my 4 year old computer and I've been having a lot of problems I didn't have with Windows 95!

try WinME!! its cool1!! i got 192 MB ram and Win98 couldnt handle with it!! PS 6 was slow as hell!!! but now...

i love it!!!

the only thing i need is a higher version of Powerquests Partion/Bootmagic!!

coz bootmagic 2.0 doesnt know WinME and out of that i got some boot probs with it!!!

wont make such a test coz i�m happy with the increase of speed at the moment!!!

so i dont wanna try crshing it(got enough crashes during the last months)

btw: i upgraded from 64MB to 192MB with Win98 as OS and there was hardly any difference!! now i know it wasnt my comp but Win98

Posted by Fraggle on Jun-24-2001 13:02:

hmm, this seems really strange!!
i know a few people who've tried ME, but they all hated it!!...always problems with software etc.
ya, i know 98 (i have se) can be problematic too, but mine's running like a dream ...my bro has 2k, but i didn't want to go searching for all the friggin new drivers for everything
from what i've heard, 2k is much better than 98 but for me i'm happy with 98

Posted by Phanta C 2001 on Jul-03-2001 20:38:
