Re: All right. Im sick of Mircosoft.

Unix is used mostly on company servers. And people usually use it using a command line. And the main function of Unix is usually as a server. It doesn't crash, but one of the reasons it doesn't crash is it doesn't have as many layers over its core function, and people don't go around installing useless non-business software on it.

Linux is very similar to Unix, except it is used more often as a personal OS, and has several GUI interfaces to it. However, I doubt many of your games or office apps will work on it. It will be even more of a pain finding video codecs or even playing DVDs on a Linux system.

For personal use, I suggest you stick with windows. If it is unstable, I bet its being strangled by spyware and viruses and worms.

If that is really your problem, let me know and I can tell you how to fix it.

First off, this is as much as I know about Unix: its an operating system. Now, I know it goes a tad deeper than that, so first off, what exactly is Unix? Next, im freakin sick of everything microsoft crashing on me, so Id like to make Unix my OS, but I dont want to lose anything but internet explorer, outlook express, and windows XP. I have a lot of games, even more applications, norton internet security (which i just love), media players, photo viewers, ect. I want all of this to work, i just dont want windows. Is this at all possible?
