Novell Linux, Mac, PC

Novell Marketing Video for Linux playing on the popular Mac vs PC videos. What is Linux? See: en.wikipedia.org Some points for Linux off the top of my head: – Free (as in speech). I have the freedom to tweak the system as I wish. – DRM Free – Superior method of software updates, installation – Solid stability (servers I run have been up for 1+yrs, my desktop 1+ month) – Can scale down to very old/obscure hardware (I have a Linux file server running an old 266, 24MB ram – Virtually Spyware …

I think Um, you dont have to pay for linux support join the irc channels, duh, obviously you dont use linux much.

I would use Linux, but I found it not clearly approachable…

Yeah right.

I think Darwin is what Mac OS uses to boot, and most Linux distributions use GRUB to boot. They are both based on the Unix Kernel (made in the 70’s by AT&T)

and why? oh, i know: because you say so, am i right?

I think Thats what forums and your brain are for. Also you get some really good free support from ubuntu, linuxmint, fedora meh pretty much all of them so I don’t know were your coming from. I never use my mac any more found them silly, didn’t like the terminal and way it works, plus I don’t really like how you have no say in the hardware.

I think i pay for mac because i need professional support .. same as professional linux.. you will pay for the support so why i don`t pay for the OS and get the support instead of paying for per call or per visit linux support.

I think @ahmeddata except you pay for mac and linux tis free
March 12th, 2010 at 2:07 am
I think Mac is the only paid BSD based OS
March 14th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I think mac is way way way way way better
March 15th, 2010 at 1:44 am
MAC is Darwin Unix
So same thing as linux what is the proplem i don`t see ?!!!!

you didnt get my point DarthSalva, but thanks anyway

ubuntu, kubuntu, and mint, all are ubuntu with skins
And why do you think u could get pro quality apps under any OS? Pixar don´t use after effects or 3dsmax to do their movies, google don´t use commercial firewalls to keep hackers away, neither banks… Nasa will use apps found in torrents to trace their satellites?
NO! They create their own apps under linux… And the apps you´re looking for can be found under any OS… Is like saying: “I´ll stay with windows because i need office”…

Can someone tell me if it would be at all useful to make a partition on my drive to dualboot linux.
I’m more than open to using it but I just don’t see a point at the moment.
March 22nd, 2010 at 7:20 am
No problem. Glad I could help

March 25th, 2010 at 6:11 am
yes, I remember that I installed the programs using ubuntu software center.
I’ll give another try and do some visits to the ubuntu forum
thanks pal!

Having used Kino and Quanta relatively little, I can’t help you too much there. I’d suggest asking at Ubuntu’s forums (while providing the error) if you installed either of them through the repositories.
March 25th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
I think one of the issues were problems to capture video with kino via firewire and lots of errors with a web-editing software (that Im not sure if it was quanta plus) the thing just keept shuting down itself after doing something. I liked all the rest, nice speed procesing of information and an intuitive location of objects

I think Usually it would be Ubuntu that I recommend to newcomers as it tends to be the easiest to setup and has a large community available for support (via forums). Are there specific things you are looking for (e.g. one to include “bleeding-edge” software, better GNOME/KDE support, etc.)? If you do a lot of multimedia editing and want to give Ubuntu another chance, you can also tryout Ubuntu Studio which features a Linux kernel optimized for media editing.
What issues did you encounter with Ubuntu?
