All machines are Linux - various kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6, updated as needed. - Main machine is an AMD64, use open source packages to do electronics and software development, and some graphics design. - Old 100 MHz 486 (16MB RAM or so) automatically receives NOAA- APT images and manages a local radio BBS - Laptop for presentations, though I must admit I left the original XP on it, in a small HD partition, just because I paid for it and couldn't get my money back. Just use it to verify problems from the university. - 3 machines at my wife's pharmacy. I guess the distros could be called Slackware, but since those guys stopped supporting Gnome, I had to adapt them.
