What OS

How long does it take to download Linux on DSL?

It differs from your connection and the server's.
For me, my connection is 3.0 MBPS, the server is mirror.ac.uk. Usual linux size is from 1-3 CDs (700MB)

With DAP7, my download is 50 min.
Without DAP7, my download is 70-80min.

At home I'm on Windows XP and I really like it, though I guess as on all OS you have to keep your firewalls etc. updated (I've read XP is particularly vulnerable). Anyway, at school we had Windows 2000 which I'm so not a fan of just because it's too "user friendly" if you know what I mean. I'll stick to my XP

I'm not a Slackware fan. But that's just my opinion.Linux isn't suitable for the average home computer user, anyway. For one, most of todays leading software and games are created for Windows; and many personal computers are used solely for gaming.And for two, it comes with features that most people have no use for. If you are a 'power-user' and enjoy having control over your operating system, and are willing to put the hours in, then Linux is probobly for you. But for those that just like to sit down and play a game from time to time or do office-type work, Windows is probobly the better option.

Windows XPMac OS X
Mac OS 6 through 9

I hate anything older than OS X 10. The only OS from Apple I like is Mac OS X 10 or higher. Mac OS X 10 is when they started to use all those nice effects and icons.
