Dear /os/

For the longest time, I've always been sort of a linuxfag. Not a linux guru, but I loved the idea of having it around and learning how the operating system worked. A whole lot more hands-on than most other operating systems.

But, about 6 months ago, I got a macbook pro as a gift for College. This Mac operating system has treated me fairly well, but it's really boring. There's nothing to it. I feel like a retard could operate this thing with the same efficiency.

So I guess my questions to you are:

1. is it possible to use the "boot camp" to load a linux distro and the Mac OSX side by side and

2. Which distros do /os/ recommend? Before I was using ArchLinux, but I've been looking into Gentoo a bit and think that would be some fun as well. I'm not too sure about installing something like ubuntu, I feel that kind of defeats the reason why I liked using linux.

I've officially seen the light.

It was earth all along. 711chan was right all along. Ubuntu sucks giant huge immense SAVAGE NEGRO BEAST cocks.

Hmm where shall we begin?

After "upgrading" to shit lucid all my start-up entries were broken. All of a sudden, nothing but the bare-minimums start! Gone is apache and the myriad of other start up entries I had.

Wow the ubuntu start-up is so much faster I thought! Yeah it's faster, they got rid of all the processes that start!

Moving along, they broke cron. I don't know how the fuck you break practically the simplest, and what I consider to be a program that I consider to be a foundation in the house of linux. How the fuck do you break cron, I mean seriously. It's a process that all it does is start up other processes/scripts, yet some how those pieces of shit managed to fuck that up, how I literally don't know.

Hey remember how you used to bounce connections through multiple proxies ala proxychains? No more! Now you simply get errors! Even if you decide to compile the program from source, remove completely, do everything possible, it still fails because the underlying os is flawed.

Fuck you canonical, fuck you ubuntu, and fuck you all who use this shit os. You all are a bunch of noob skiddies and should just go back to windows because ubuntu is not a real linux, it's unstable shit; how is that linux?

hello /os/
i have been a linux user for a while (3years) however i havent strayed far from ubuntu or ubunut based oses and im bored/sick of it i want to move on. I have been told slackware is where i need to go to truly lrn2linux

TLDR:which should i pursue considering im beginner slakcware 32 or 64 with installed 32 packages

What i am asking you is should i go with the 32bit so i can lrn2linux or should i go straight for slackware64 and deal with having to install the 32 bit packages something that i am not aware of how to do

Is there actually a way to have sound play in the background with dreamweaver cs4 but, without a player being visible? I feel like I've tried everything and its pissing me right off.

You boys,the boys,les boys or whatever you want to call yourself and people who interfered in my life now and when I was younger,you and your fathers are a bunch of DORKS.If your so cool why do you have to go around patting yourselves on the back telling people how cool you are which isn't very cool.

One thing that sort of confuses me when I come here is hate for *buntu users.

I can understand seeing other distros as more pro or involved (which I'm not arguing they aren't), it doesn't seem to justify going out of their way to talk bad about Ubuntu/Ubuntu-based distros

I guess the general assumption is that *buntu users have everything spoonfed to them and are the retards in the linux world?
While it is a popular linux-learning distro, things like >>1014 kind of exaggerate it..

I'm not claiming to be a Linux badass or even claiming Ubuntu is better, just want to hear more about it


Also, I think some of the 711 staff use Ubuntu or something based on it, I know at least Tycho (if he's still around) used Kubuntu

I've been using Linux for a long time, and I'm not planning on migrating off it. I would like to try something else out, though. Adventures in trying out different OSs (actually different, not BSD or OSX) have gone almost good, but there's nothing I can use for actual computing on a day-to-day basis.

Haiku OS: I've played with Haiku, a BeOS clone ( http://its.goofyti.me/u/http://www.haiku-os.org/ ) a lot, and installed it on my laptop. I'd use it almost all the time except for unsupported wifi and sound hardware. I need music and to ssh to computers from coffee shops, but otherwise it's fun, boots in, like 10 seconds, mostly POSIX-compatible, and is pretty usable.

Plan 9: I've read a lot on the design of Plan 9. It's all brilliant and it's all educational and
HURD: wat? why? did anyone ever use this?

What about you BEEKEEPERS? Using any weird OSs that you could recommend? I'm itching to play with something interesting, especially if I can get it up and running in qemu/kvm to try it out before installing it for really reals. I also have a hard-on for Forth and Lisp, although they seem unpopular for being OSs nowadays and just run atop Unix.

Half-remembering it: I've read a lot on the design of Plan 9. It's all brilliant and it's all educational and I can't get anything done in it ever. Every piece of documentation is either a man page or an academic paper. It's only recently that I was able to get it to boot (plagued by boot device recognition bug that has been fixed, apparently), but there doesn't seem to be a survival guide for it. I don't need some Ubuntu guide with lots of pictures, just something that will get me minimally functional, so I can start using the OS.

So I'm gonna dump Debian Lenny for PCBSD, just for fun.

Any thoughts?
