Computer Question

[Ambiorix]

I use Fedora Core 4 at work for my server, needs to be updated, I use FreeBSD on my dedicated servers.

Linux is more stable than Windows for server use, no GUI (option to) means less use of memory and CPU, no worries of memory leaks, less exploits out there (though they exist), and i've had a uptime of 330 days without a reboot.

I think that's great. Reboot once a year...

Linux is a nice O.S. and it NEVER EVER freezes, but I would never in my right mind suggest it to someone who doesn't have a specific purpose already in mind for it.

If you don't want to give to Bill Gates, then download a Pirated Windows XP.  If you are too moral to do this, then buy a MAC.

Linux is alright, I prefer Macs over Linux though

What's better AMD or Pentium4?  or is mac faster than all of them?

[JTFFan]

AMD is better, but Macs switched to Intel chips which are also pretty good.

AMD is better by far in speed?   Macs have Intel chips? Does intel mean pentium? so macs have the same chips as pentium4? thnx

[JTFFan]

you're welcome

Mac G4 used Motorolla, G5 IBM, And now intel duocore/

MacPro(desktop like G5, but Intel)
the fastest is 8 cores of 3 GHZ, which makes 8x3 uhhmmm i need my computer for that... can't find the application euhmmm

thnx Amb.    so  MacPro  is the fastest desktop?

[JTFFan]

It's pretty good.

Not sure if it is the fastest though

for mac it is the only desktop.
I think you can buy Windows / UNIX /Linux machines with the same specs, but the price tag, normally isn't lower than mac.
yes

[JTFFan]

Macs are overall more User-Friendly for me.
