stupid quick computer questions about operating systems

[JesC]

if you going to mess around with dual boot and what not. make sure that you check the drivers for win7 32 & 64 bit.

In my defense, I'm using a netbook, so Xp tends to be a bit more spec friendly (gotta admit, its pretty damn good for an 8 year old OS).

If your getting an i7 machine, don't even bother with Xp. There would be no performance difference.

but seriously, don't rule out linux.

Traktor works under linux?

traktor 3 does through wine (like that matters), but I'm thinking more of as the non-djing partition. The system requirements of my distro (Ubuntu) are a fraction of xp, 7 and osx, so it runs super fast. It's also incredibly easy to use and completely free and open source (in most cases)

Ubuntu scarred me on linux back in 2003 when I tried to install it. I may need to give it another go.

Oh I'm not knocking linux... I've used it on and off for over a decade, If I wasn't in IT, I'd likely only run osx/ubuntu...

I'm actually surprised that it works under wine... When you say 'works' do you mean flawlessly? Not that I would ever even think about using it on a gig through wine... lol

it starts, but you can't find a directory or analyze tracks for some reason (I guess "not really" then)

@BigC: Ubuntu has come a really long way since back then. I've been running 10.10 since it came out and it is absolutely flawless, easily their best build yet.

dont forget suse. novell has made leaps and bounds with it since they bought suse.

plus, rpm's kind of kick all kinds of ass.
