Which OS do you use?

So I know there are a lot of anti-Microsoft people out there...I'm just wondering which OS is the most popular here among majorgeeks. My uni is having an event next week where they're installing linux on people's computers and showing 'em all how to use it. I run on Windows XP which I like because that's all I've used.

Opinions???

 

1. XP Pro SP2


2. Red Hat Fedora Core 3 64 bit

I like them both for different reasons, also run Win98, ME 2K for trouble shooting.

I'd have a Mac as well if I could justify the cost to myself

 

Another question to throw out there: if you use linux, which version do you use since there are sooooo many of them.

 

Xp pro, server 2003 web and data center editions and last but not least suse 9.2 professional linux.

 

Windows XP Pro SP2

 

My main pc is windows XP SP2 Pro.

Although I run a server with fedora Core 2 x64, and have a few other computers in the house with windows 98se/XP Pro (dual booted) and an old 486 with win 3.11 that I rarely use.

 

XP SP2 Home

I should be getting an old laptop to run linux on Soon YA!!

As for which OS is for you.....
If you like the idea of trying something new go for it. If you would rather stick with what your comfortable with, so be it. As for which is easier one of the others would have to give you that one. I have used XP, or other windows systems for ever and JUST loaded FreeBSD to try and learn on it, so I have no real expierence to give you on that one.
