iWill is a file server
beige box (1.4ghz) is my NAS (music and movies)
beige box (dual 1.7ghz) is used for some video compression when needed and is my 'play with new Linux features' box
I'm up to 11 now.

I now have a Compaq Deskpro 500mhz that is my firewall and a Thinkpad T23 (Ubuntu) that will be used as a laptop for guests to use.

Desktop 1:

Sparcstation-5 (170 Mhz)
TGX+ graphics (1600x1280)
diskless
OpenBSD

Desktop 2:

Panasonic Toughbook CF27 (300 Mhz P-II)
Linux

Firewall:

Sparcstation-5
OpenBSD

Main server / fileserver:

Sun E3500
4 x 400 Mhz UltraSPARC-II (8 meg mirrored cache apiece)
2 FC arrays
1 SCSI array
DLT library
DDS3 drive
Solaris-8

Compute server:

Sun E3500
8 x 400 Mhz USPARC-II
Solaris-8

Everything is on a 100BT switch.
The servers (these plus some others that don't get used much) are also on a FDDI ring.
The two E3500's also have a point-to-point gig-e (1000-SX) connection.

I also have a few SGI Origin-200's, but I haven't used them since getting the second E3500.

Also heavily used is a vt320 terminal - all machines other than the desktops are headless.

If I run a botnet, should I count only the master machine, or should I count each individual zombie?

Count 'em all, I suppose.

I have one computer in my home.
