PC or Mac?

Asalam alkum how do you know if it is linux

you have to write the Linux program yourself and load it onto a reformatted HD.

The best thig about Linux you program it yourself and you make it tailored for yourself. Linux is great, but it is not for beginners and most people do not have the time to write their own PC programs.

I think Linux Top-Hat does put out one or 2 on CDs now. But you still have to do the final programming.

The best thing about Linux is it is free. this link will tell you all about it.

I think they have made Linux (Ubuntu distro) pretty much easy for beginners.

you can request cd-s in here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/

and run it with live cd (so u don't have to install it).

You don't have to do your programming anymore. Linux has advanced to such a level that it looks like MS windows systems now. In fact, Dell now offers the options of windows or linux on your new dell.

Shows how far behind times I am. Linux really is the way to go. I'll have to try it again on the next PC I assemble.

I am thinking of giving Linux a shot on my old computer. It seems ok from reviews, but maybe a first hand account from actual users is more neccessary. I need a blank CD from somewhere.

Are there any driver issues like Vista? And are Microsoft based applications comatible like Office?

I think in your case would be best to look at the software you plan to use and see if it can all be found in MAC compatible versions. I am strictly PC, but that is because much of the software I use I can not find in a MAC version.

As far as the reliability of the OS, MAC does have PC beat. I'm stuck with PC, but only because I have tons of software that would be useless if I switched.

You can run any windows operating system on a Mac, but not the other way around. There is no comparison between the two. Mac is superior to PC. But the windows operating systems do not work as well as MAC, so you really don't need it. Mac has programs that are better than windows. You can get them at the Apple store.
