Windows Vs Linux

Well I have recently taken two old computers and made it into one old computer with two hard drives. So here was my problem, I had to format the HDD due to the fact of it doing this wierd thing where all it would do is restart. So since I had lost my Windows XP Pro. cd a while back i was in a bit of a lets just say....pickle. So my alternate route was to install a copy of linux. I decided to go with the Sabayon version.


So i downloaded a copy and installed it. It installed with no problems and started up and everything worked. Now if you do go with linux you must know this, you may need to get some different drivers for your graphics card if you want all the bells and whistles that can be with it. Now it this is not like XP at all and I will say if you must use Windows please do use XP it is far less glitchy as vista.

Now as long as you get your drivers you can get some cool looking things like this.

Now if you have never ever seen linux type operating systems which by the way are FREE then I will tell you this. This picture is of the 3d desktop feature. What this does is makes it so on the one computer you can virtually have 4 yes i said FOUR desktops. So one can be for work, maybe one for school things, and of course one for games. Speaking of games the Sabayon linux download does include some games. If you already have games on your computer and you need them then you can look up how to install it and you can trick the game into thinking that it is on Windows.



Now if I had to choose according to simplicity I would go with windows simply because that is what I know. I would not by choice go with VISTA only go with XP if you have the choice. Now if you want visually appealing then look no further then a Linux OS.
