Is Ubuntu the only OS you have installed on your Computer? [Archive]

I also have Vista installed on my computer,but I never use it,so I'm considering deleting the partition and adding the space to my Ubuntu partition.

I just did that this past week. I am liking it so far....I had a 300GB vista partition and only a 60GB Ubuntu partition. so I made the old vista partition my home, and now I have room for all my music and stuff....If I muck up the OS install too bad, I can always reload software, but I'll still have my home folder.

Linux is the kernel, GNU is, as you put it, "the complete picture that operates it". Of course, over the years, more software has been added into that mix, but overall, GNU started the Free Software Movement, and Linux made GNU a viable complete OS, so the naming is pretty obvious.

Linux isn't an OS

Of course not, nobody is claiming it is, and it would be a pretty absurd claim to call the kernel an OS. GNU/Linux, however, is an operating system, and all of it's software distributions are (obviously) based directly off it.

You lose the argument due to quoting wikipedia and/or a self-referencing article.

To answer you with a question: If GNU/Linux software distributions are separate operating systems, what does that make GNU/Linux? Because I see a clear hierarchical progression in software distribution->family of software distributions (ie debian, redhat, suse, arch)->operating system. Doesn't it seem kind of pointless to equate the two elements on the different ends of the chain? Just creates needless confusion and, in fact, misstates facts.

yeah there is nothing wrong with quoting wikipedia, but it is true, GNU/Linux is an operating system and Ubuntu is just based on it.

There are few definitions of what an OS is. But basically it's just the software that talks to your hardware + tools to help your programs run. That is, Linux + GNU.
There really isn't much difference between the other software, like Compiz vs Pidgin... or Warsow vs apt-get

You cannot use your computer without an OS, but you can without programs.

btw there is no option for people like me that run multiple computers. Should I take an average or..?

What does Operating System mean?

That's an interesting question, especially in regards to Linux distributions.

For example: I've got an installation of Arch and a minimal installation of Karmic with almost exactly the same packages installed. From the functional point of view those are nearly identical systems; one uses Pacman and the other dpkg, but otherwise they look and feel exactly the same (both use the same configuration files for Openbox and for most other programs).

Now, a lot of people would consider those two different operating systems (Arch and Ubuntu); but what about my other, regular installation of Karmic, that is very much different in function to those two other systems? Technically both my Karmic installations are the same operating system (Ubuntu) and even the same version, but the (functional) differences between them are much bigger than between my Arch installation and the minimal Karmic installation. (If I used Debian instead of Arch, the differences would be even smaller).

It seems to me like it's a line drawn in the water and personally I wouldn't consider different Linux distributions to be different operating systems. They're merely variations on the same core GNU/Linux system from different packagers. To me it's the software that makes the operating system, not who packaged it.

Your mileage may vary, though.

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP/NT. XP is just for gaming, I'm playing Dragon Age at the moment, just became lvl. 14 mage and got the ashes to save the earl. :D

Rant:
Windows 7 isn't an operating system, since the kernel is called NT, the correct term is Windows 7/NT.
Please refrain from calling Windows an operating system, since windows is just one layer on top of the NT kernel.

I suppose you could call the Linux kernel GNU/Linux kernel, since it's using the GPL license, but why would you?

Calling Linux an OS is not entirely correct.
GNU/Linux is an OS which hundreds of distros are based on.
Saying Ubuntu isn't an OS is silly, GNU/Linux make up the actual basic OS functionality, but if Ubuntu changed to BSD kernel, it would still be Ubuntu and not BSD/Ubuntu, unless Ubuntu choose it to be so.

GNU deserves respect, but should find better way to get it.

The actual question would be: is it the SAME operating system?

You just have to think about how much do you have to change to make it stop being the same operating system and be something else. Then start to think about the difference between distros.

Operating System only has one job. To run and assist programs running.

We all have different opinion on what is an operating system when we dont have formal education in it.
Like my sister's fiancé which saw me draw icons on a paper and asked if I was planning to make an OS. For him an OSes look different and therefore the look is the OS. For other's it is the applications which you get by default and how the feel of it is.. .like desktop environments and such.

It may be hard to understand, as from what I understand, I am a very poor teacher and is bad at explaining.... but think about what the guy above me said if you just take 2 minimal installations of 2 distros..

WINDOWS VISTA - I rarely use ...there are a couple of programs that will still only run on it that I need .....

_____________________________________________

These are installed ..... but at the moment not running .......
( The question was what do you have installed - so added them here )

Not that I need these anymore ..... more nostalgia than anything ..... ;)

KANOTIX - used to work on the USB hard drive - still there just cannot figure out why its not booting up ......
This without a doubt was the first real LINUX to get the masses interested ...........

very similar to above but came on a DVD with more packages pre installed than KANOTIX .........

So I would only have another linux distro but 9.10 is a good release, sure it had a few bugs for a lot and a bunch of quirks but those had to be pushed out and fixed before the next LTS. Overall Ubuntu is doing awesomely with development of integrating all the new technologies so just Ubuntu for me!

Dell Mini - Ubuntu 9.04 (+ xfce4) only
Acer 5051 laptop - Ubuntu 9.04 (+ xfce4), but has XP in a VM - removed the XP dual-boot after not booting it for 12 months and installed in a VM - will prob remove it completely when I haven't used the VM for 12 months.

I think removing a dual-boot is sensible if you don't use it. I removed mine when I was running out of HD space and had to reinstall for 9.04 anyway. Kept a VM as a security blanket... Perhaps when I reinstall for 10.04 I won't bother with XP at all, but a VM doesn't really take much space or intrude, so I think it's pretty harmless. I use the opensource VBox and don't connect it to the internet; no updates etc, but it is isolated from the rest of the world's viruses...

VirtualBox is easier to use than people expect - it's in the repo and recognises everything out of the box, except USB support.
