Ringsixty 0 Posted March 2, 2006 What OS do you guys prefer to use on your PC based DVR’s? I have always used 2000 Pro on what ever PC I built. But, I’m sure Microsoft will soon discontinue support in the near future. Do you guys mostly use XP home or XP Pro for your systems? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted March 2, 2006 We use XP Pro SP2. for all systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted March 2, 2006 XP Pro SP2 always ... Personally I wouldnt touch 2000 or XP SP1. Never used XP Home so cant say on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted March 3, 2006 I would love to say Debian but its XP pro SP2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Never used XP Home so cant say on that one. As long as you are using FAT32, not a member of a domain and Geo is okay as admin account you might as well save your $. XP Pro doesn't have anything over XP Home in that situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasper 0 Posted March 3, 2006 XP Home does not have as many features as the Pro version does. I was running XP home for awhile then ended upgrading to XP PRO. XP is the first robust rock solid OS they have produced for the general consumer market. Way better than version 1. Hey G22, finally looked up what your Tag line meant. "Come and get them!" You warrior you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMANOFNVS 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Hey G22 do you make your ownLinux pc dvr's or buy someone elses like ID View's?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CollinR 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Why are you running 2 webservers? Or are you not using Geo's? EDIT: I can't find jack on this Kool Aide distro, somebody wanna link me? Of course the hardware is really a bigger concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Yes, but IIS lets me run ASP as well . .. (dont ask, long details ) Edit (since its the in thing to do) - Eventually I wont need to run Geo's at all, nor IIS, will use my own. Currently Im using port 81 for one, and port 82 for the other // but this is on a development PC not the clients. One idea is a server that has a remote client which works for different DVR brands.
