Currently I have 3 systems running Gentoo Linux as desktops; 1 is a laptop, 2 are tower/mini-tower systems. One of the tower systems is going to be replaced by a laptop though. I also have 2 other computers running Gentoo Linux as servers which run email, database, VPN and web services. I also have a couple of other computers running Gentoo Linux, but they are for testing and don't actually run very often.

Hello folks.
First post here. I'm a somewhat new user. Tried different Linux distros for several years but until a couple of years ago I just didn't want to go through the trouble it was taking to get things working. A couple of years ago I ran across Mepis and that got me back on track. I've since switched to PCLOS and have been using it for the last year and a half or so. It is the one distribution that has met all my needs with the least requirement to "get under the hood". As things go along I'm starting to learn some of the lingo but I don't have to and that's nice. I've also found the light weight distros, Puppy in particular. Glad to be in the fold.

You are missing Slackware
Yes, I know, I'm lame, but I have to be grateful to my first teacher, Mr. Sub-Genius :-)
SuSE for my 10 years old son's desktop Red hat for my wife (dual booted to XP) Slackware for yours truly. (I know, I know, some people never learn) Thanks. That was entertaining. I needed that now. Good luck
