2 OS's

[MikeonTV]

I currently use 2 Machines. The Big one, a Dell 8600, runs WinXP and really is my lifeblood from school. The second is a duelbooted Acer Aspire which defaults to Ubuntu and also has Vista (for when people like my girlfriend who as she puts 'needs to feel comfortable') However my 8 yr old brother prefers to use Ubuntu when on my laptop.

What Os's are you guys all running? Also what have you used in the past?

for the record I love us OSX but I just opted for a different machine this time around.

Mac sucks.

I run XP now on all the computers in my house.  I ran the Vista beta a while back on this laptop, and I've run Slackware 10.1 and 11, and Fedora Core 5 on various machines.

Mac is great, anything but Windows in my opinion!

I personally run Slackware 10.2 (11.0 sucked at supporting my hardware). I sometimes run Windows under VMWare, but that's rare.

Back in school I would rush to the library computer room (which was relatively smaller than the other labs but had 25 beautiful macs)

I loved using them. Very sleek and the UI isn't much of a challenge. The only problem is that it's impossible to recreant the experience I have built for myself using windows on that OS.

I mainly use Windows XP right now for school and games. In the past I've tried a bunch of Linux distros and the 3 main BSDs.

I dual-boot Ubuntu and XP on my main PC.  I have a server in my dorm, which uses Slackware 12.  My big laptop has Ubuntu studio and I have space which I plan to use for XP.  My smaller laptop has XP on it, but I haven't used it in a while.  My server at home has Slackware 10.

And, incidentally, the machines in the labs at the CS building here are primarily FC 6.  There are a few macs (which I never use) and I think there's a Windows lab, which I've never entered.  The network security lab (which I'm supposed to administrate) has Ubuntu on most of the machines, but there are a few vulnerable boxes to practice using hacking tools as well as an "attack box" running Backtrack 2.

I dual-boot Ubuntu and XP, but I primarily use Ubuntu.

Laptop is OSX/Gentoo, desktop is XP/Xubuntu, both servers are Gentoo.

Lets see..

PPC Machines
- 1x eMac G4 1.25ghz, running Mac OS X 10.4.10
- 1x Performa 6400, running Mac OS 9.1

68k Machines
- 2x Mac SE/30's, running Mac OS 7.x
- 1x Mac IIci, running Mac OS 7.x
- 1x Mac Quadra650, running OS 7.x, and at times, NetBSD
- 1x Mac SE, running Mac OS 6.x

x86 Machines

Servers:
- 1x 1ghz PIII, my primary server, and it runs Debian stable (etch). Its also running a few VMWare VM's, but most of them are Debian etch as well.
- 1x 400mhz AMD K6-2. Runs NetBSD 3.0. Mostly idles, but the plan for it is to be a backup mail server when I start running a server from my house. Hard drive is almost always spinned down.
- 1x 300mhz AOpen MX6E+. Runs the latest IPCop. Don't use it very much at the moment, but if one of the hardware routers fails or something its ready for use. Insanely silent, you'd think its running with passive cooling. Boots from a CF card.

Desktops:
- 1x 1.82ghz P4, running Debian etch. Its more or less my primary desktop now.

I have a bunch of motherboard ranging from 25mhz to roughly 500mhz sitting around collecting dust, but I don't really use them. They'd likely be running Debian for the higher end ones, and NetBSD for the lower-end ones.

PowerPC:
- 2x iMac running OSX 10.1

68k:
- 1x Mac Classic II (beat that!) running System 6

x86:
- 1x (desktop) Ubuntu/XP
- 1x (laptop) XP

And then my old computers I don't know of, and then my family's machines, which are XP.

Let's see... I use a number of systems on a daily basis.

- My main workstation runs Vista x64.
- Online presense related programs (SILC, MSN) run on Srv03 x64 offsite.
- Blog and related things run on Srv03 x64.  I considered switching it to Apache on Linux but decided against that as WordPress is just as slow even with PHP running on Linux; the Apache setup is now just a staging environment for the time being.  But I don't remote that box on a daily basis.
- Monitoring and historical reporting (SNMP) runs on Debian Etch x64 (Linux valera 2.6.18-4-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 4 00:37:33 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux).  PHP and rrdtool don't play well on Srv03 x64 due to an obscure bug.
- TV tuner box at my apartment runs Vista 32-bit.  Hauppauge drivers are not all that great.
- Apartment server runs Srv03 x64; only interactive use of this on a semireguilar basis is for using the various test VMs running on it.

At the office, I use Srv03 x64, Debian Etch x86 and Vista x64 primarily.

I primarily use most of these systems remotely over TS or SSH, which is somewhat of a running joke here at the office...

(Supporting infrastructure such as database, VM servers, and routers excluded.)

- 1x Mac Classic II (beat that!) running System 6

The Mac SE/30 and the SE are way older than that. The SE came after the 512k mac.

I used to have an Apple IIe, Apple IIgs (ran GS/OS, keke!), and a Commodore 128.

Nice, you beat me there!

I just use windows XP at home. At work we have a bunch of old computers running redhat that connect to a server on a sun SparcStation running SunOS 4 lolol

It should be stated that the IIe was used for learning some basic, BASIC (as it's kernel, or whatever, was BASIC-oriented), the IIgs for playing some games (although I don't remember which ones), and the Commodore 128 was used for hardcore gaming back in '99 or so. I was the master of Donald Duck Gets a Job.

On this box I've got Kubuntu 7.10 (amd64) and Windows XP. On my old box I'm running Windows XP, some old beta of SabayonLinux (Gentoo distribution), vanilla Gentoo, and Kubuntu. My old, dead-screened laptop runs Mint Linux (Cassandra). I've also played with Arch, but eventually ditched it in favor of Gentoo for need of a larger package repository.
