5 machines

E-machine dual boot WinXP and harddrive install of knoppix. Makes it interesting.
Dell Optiplex GX1 functioning as router/firewall manager with Debian 4.0
Dell Optiplex GX1 with Debian 4.0 for linux mayhem on the network
E-machine dual booting WinXP and Debian 4.0
E-machine with Windows Vista for the wife. interesting side note, with 512ram in this box, Knoppix running off DVD was actually faster than the hda install of Vista......

I have two laptops but unfortunately i don't have unix on anyone of them. I plan on getting a laptop especially for unix/linux. I used to have 3 PCs - 2 with Solaris, two laptops with solaris and slackware linxu, until my house was burglarized and the SOBs took all my computers.

I don't think you have a botnet of computers in your home, which is the question.

The question is not:

How many computers do you control in your illegal botnet?

Get my point, dotancohen?

Sounds like you have 9!!
Time to make it 11. Got myself a Mac Mini and my wife a new Wintel system. Her old system (P2 300MHz, 256Mb RAM) is now happily running RHEL and mt-daapd and streaming my iTunes content over the network.

Currently have 3 on and working systems.

1) Newly build Opteron 1218 system (server[to be]/desktop) running FC8
2) My new-ish Sony laptop; currently running Vista Home Premium (dumb school)
3) Wife's laptop; slightly older Compaq

I've decommissioned my older XP2100 based system, and I'm planning on selling it cheap; the darn thing was too loud for my likings.

3 for me.
- One PC as a server to backup the Internet Smilie
- Two laptops, most of the time with the battery unplugged and on!
And I hope to acquire an old Ultra5 and a B50 soon... heheheh
