Solve : Windows SUX!! I need help changing over.? |
|
Answer» Is Linux having as HARD a time with viruses as windows seems to be? I really need a change, but I can't get a foothold, though I've tried a half-dozen times. Which is better as a standard desktop, FreeBSD or Linux? How the heck do you install/unistall a driver in either? The man page make no sense just yet, are there any decent books on all this stuff?Quote Is Linux having as hard a time with viruses as windows seems to be? Do you EVEN know what a virus is? Why not try installing a virus scanner? I have Norton AV, I've tried McCafee. I have ZA, and I've tried a couple of other firewalls. I use Spy DOCTOR and I've used Spybot. I've tried Slackware. I've tried FreeBSD. I've tried Mandrake, and at one time I had Red Hat, but I can't get a groove. I tried just diving in blind, but I'm not finding anything familiar to sink my teeth into. I've got a big honkin' book on FreeBSD, but hardware INCOMPATIBILITIES literally shelved that idea. I just need a decent book and a good distro or something.I wouldn't know anything about that, but I have no virus problems on Windows. That's really the users fault. It just seems like when I first install Windows (for the 826423th time) it's slick and responsive, but it starts to slow down within days.Could be caused by just about anything.Install Suse 9.0 or9.1. Also dump all your temp and cookie files. Suggest Writing your harddrive to zeros to completely wipe it clean,repartition four primary,two for page/OS for Windows and two for Swap/OS for Linux.It be best to install the Linux(unix) OS on a separate harddrive.ey there, well..suse 9.0 or 9.1 would really give you a nice groove..if thats what you looking for. Also, having to install firefox 2.0...would really make it more groovy. I have dual boot for Suse 9.0 and windows XP(though i hate windows..sometimes its just ok to look back ) For SECURITY reasons: Install smoothwall (very user friendly) install nessus (shows the weakness of ur system and gives you solutions) p.s Quit Windows man, the future looks likes a Penguin (man i think this line kills it all....remember i said it first..so i'll sue whoover takes my words peace. Did the slowdown come after installing programms? Do you have alot running in you system tray? How much Hard drive space do you have? *these quick-fire questions brought to you by Redeyes_Gambit * |
