Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
LOL, I spent all my money on a segway...
Oh, anyways, I have Vista Pro., and I think that is the one that I prefer the most also. |

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
I'm rather a fan of Vista so far. I've got a good computer so it runs well. So far everything works pretty flawlessly on it, and I don't have even a sliver of the problems other's have had. It's just all around working out well for me.

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
I've been running Vista on my laptop for over 6 months and Vista x64 on my desktop for a month, and I've been extreamly happy with both systems.
I don'y have a proplem with unix/linux/mac systems, but for what I do Windows is easier and faster. |

Mmm, I like to use both Vista and Fedora (Linux). >.<

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
I would love to use OS X, but I don't care enough to jump through the hoops involved.
I've heard speculation that programming next year will be LabVIEW based. |

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
I would be thrilled if Teams could use Linux, or some sort of Open Source software available to Windows, Linux, and MAC users.
P.S. ...I heard more programming languages will be supported next year. (maybe python will be supported) |

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
I put other because I use many. At my work, I code entirely in either OS X or while SSH'd into a Linux box. At home, I run XP and Ubuntu; unfortunately, I'm too lazy to get wireless working with Ubuntu, so I usually just use XP. I do a little coding on my TI-86, but that is just so I don't have to remember equations for stress calcs and stuff like that (I don't make games or other complicated programs).

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
Programming is programming and in spirit it should transcend the operating system you use. If you can't program on both, you are going to have problems.
On a related note, getting good at programming on a whiteboard with no OS involved is a tremendously useful skill. 1) When you're using a whiteboard and marker your brain just fundamentally works differently (different neural pathways, etc.) than when you're clicking away in some dumbed down M$ Windows GUI, or elegantly crafting your code in Emacs (No bias at all... I swear )2) When you go to interview for jobs in the future a lot of times they want you to "program" on a whiteboard. This first couple times I did this it was pretty rough. As I practiced more I got better, and now when I get stuck on a programming problem, I definitely like to go to the whiteboard and think outloud there. That said, I find that Linux gives you substantially more flexible in doing things in the way that is most intuitive to you, rather than forcing you to develop as someone else sees fit. We only use windows at work. It makes me cry. But I run a full-screen copy of cygwin and try my best to pretend otherwise. Oh yeah, and the only real Linux users run Gentoo and compile everything from source. ![]() |

Re: Which operating system do you use/want to use?
The major issue here is the MPlab software, as well as any camera software that FIRST supports. As far as I know, MPlab does not port very well to Linux, and the dependencies and/or libraries do not go with Wine/Cedega.

People who say CLI or "the bare-bones linux" are for "real" linux users are people who are trying to make it hard on others, and don't know the truth of the situation. People who hate Ubuntu, do not know that there's more to the distro that meets the eye, you just have to dig a little bit further. |
