Linux kills all windows networking hands down - so your comment about a networking major is irrelevant and contradictory

If you know how to use it. Windows doesn't try to be as powerful, but instead concentrates on being easy-to-use. It all depends on your preferences and needs to figure out which one is better.

im probibly gonna take kazan's side on linux when i get into that part of my schooling (which unfortunately is my last class, so it will be awhile before i get into it). untill then, xp kicks ass (relative to other microfecies products).

It is faaar more stable (which actually isn't saying much...). However, it's a humongous piece of bloatware crap that doesn't run decently on a Celeron 500MHz w/ 1228Mb and a Riva TNT2 Ultra. And by not runing decently, I mean that a completely clean, fresh install of XP ran jerkily - dragging a window would result in that window appearing to jump from one location one the screen to another with some mini-hops in between.

By contrast, 95/98 run decently on a high-end 486. Go figure.

Personally, my sweet spot with MS OSes is definitley Windows 2000. It runs smoothly on an old Pentium II 200Mhz with 96Mb - and a laptop, at that!

It's a powerful OS that came out before MS's whole activation shpiel. It's stable. The only downside is that it's not the best gaming platform, which is why I still dual-boot 98 and 2K.

xp increased my quake 3 framerate by at least 10 fps. it is not indended to run on obsolete hardware by the way. are you people all still going to be using 9x when windows 2050 comes out? it makes an excellent client for networking because workstations almost set themselves up, which frees me (the future nework admin) from having to go set up all those 9x workstations. we can talk the windows bs into the grave. something we can all agree on is that WINDOWS SUCKS!!! so until microcrap dies or linux becomes more popular, we gotta live with it.

anyway kazan (the penguin lover), when are you gonna make all those chunk import buttons work. im working on a big campaign now. id like to be able to recompile big capship models without re-entering data for 20 or so turrets and 20 engine glows. can you do some kinda script that is run when a model compiles that will fill in info automaticly?

[Bobboau]

and I'd like to get a working glow point editor, oh that reminds me, I would like to add one thng to the structure, an int to specify type, so I can have more than one type

[Kazan]

well.. when i get settled in and feel like writing code
