Greeting's AO. I was wondering what everyone is "working with" and what they use it for. By that, I mean how many computer's/system's do you have, what OS and what is it used for. For me:
* Win98 for Main Computer, Internet Browsing, MP3/Audio, and Gaming.
* WinMe for Guest's and Exploitive/Vulnerability Testing.
* OpenBSD for HTTP/E-Mail/FTP server.
* Win2k for Project's/Business Related, Services Server. (Soon To Be)
So, what do you have and what is it used for?
P4 Laptop dual booting XP and SuSE 9.1.
I do everything with this machine.
(At work I have a busted ass old Celeron...)
Slack 9.1 (soon hopefully 10) for Websurfing, music listening, web "coding" (simple stuff), home machine: Laptop (PIII 600)
WinXP for work (email primarily): P4 ? (it's a no name brand through the school -- think cheap!)
Two play boxes (both in various states of disarray due to laziness): generally some variation of *nix on either one (P100 and PPC 225).
P4M Laptop with Slack 10 right now, but I've changed about 3 distros in the past week... still looking for that perfect one :). Just about anything should be done with this box, but I'm considering having it for mainly security purposes.
Another P4 desktop that's not really mine anymore [gave it to father] but I use it for storage most of the time. I was planning on having a busted old computer used as a server or test box, but I have to see when I'll have time to build it up and whatnot.
P4 laptop..Xp Home
This gets used and abused for everything i do at home.
Dell Axim x5 Advanced...PPC2003
Mainly used as an mp3 player and for reading Ebooks, I love gadgets.
Another laptop... xp Home
For the kids
P3 desktop..Xp pro/ soon to be 2003 server
When i get the dam thing back from my ex-wife.
Work is a celeron powered Heap.
Mostly data entry, email and despatch tracking.
Home : Just changed from - Win98se, PII, 128 ram
to
[New box] - Win XP pro, 2.4ghz, 512 ram
Work - Win XP Pro, P4, 256RAM but I have a brand new Dell Optiplex sitting in box that got delivered on thurs for me at work i aint set up
Also at work I use a variety of PCs Ranging from simple Agent Terminals to GTX Dialer
Spare/Test boxes - couple of old 166's and somewhere gathering alot of dust a MAC performa 460 :D

Well I have one box which has Win2k Pro with a P3 processor and 10gb of HD space :( planning on buying a used HD soon..
Centrino 1.3Ghzx/256Mb RAM Toshiba Satellite M10 laptop, currently running XP and dual boots with Linux (various distros) as my main computer.
Crummy TIME laptop (512Mb RAM, dunno about the processor - 1+Ghz) that I will probably have to send back because it keeps segfaulting (hardware is knackered I think) which I am installing Slackware 10 on now. Used for playing around, sniffing local network traffic for debugging stuff etc.
1.3Ghz AthlonXP/256Mb PC running FreeBSD (only machine it will boot on) as a server to play around with and learn Unix on.
PII/266..........128MB EDO RAM 2.1 & 6.4 HDDs
WinME................ :confused: ...but I like it........I guess I have about 30 machines, and the bits for another 3
Sometimes I use my XP or Win98 boxes............or one of my Win2k...........or the Win NT4.......
I guess that I am a confused creature?...............but I AM A MAN. and can have as many computers in the house as I like..............some will understand that? (My Wife doesn't)
Now, if you wanted to talk about my museum...........
Ack! cheers for now
:D
Celeron 1.7 384meg ram dual hardrive, XP Home & Pro, Redhat 9, soon to be Slack 10/Vector4.0 (main comp.)
P11 400 384meg ram Suse 9.1 personal (going to add another hardrive and freebsd 4.10)
Celeron 1.3 384meg ram freebsd5.2.1(other hardrive?)
p100 16meg ram (working on openbsd 3.0 to use as a firewall)
25Mhz 4meg ram(not sure what I am going to do with this yet) maybe a big paper weight?
* Win98 for mainly Gaming, and surfing the net.
* WinMe just a spare box, mainly store stuff on it.
* Debian box, mainly for playing around on, sometimes use it on the net.
* winXP Box, mainly use this box for Vb and Dark Basic.
*RedHat 7.2 Find myself using this one a fair bit now that i've re-installed everything..
*Firewall running SlackWare.. Cause it was easy to set up.. :D
*2 Servers running win 2K..
front2back, you've got quite a number of machine's there :D Damn, I need another box (donation) to use for work and for project's/whatnot but I don't have the time or money right now to go out and buy one. Anyone got a spare laptop or barebone's computer they don't need? It would be much appreciated and I'd financially contribute as much as I can :(

At home, my main machine is a WinXP Home. Much to my joy, people have begun donating old machines left and right, so I've recently added a Win95 and Win98lite to my arsenal. I have a couple more machines I haven't done anything with -- one of them is going to run Redhat soon and I'm considering sticking BSD on the other one so I can learn about that. They're idle for now though, as I unfortunately have more machines than monitors to stick on them. :)
Err, if you look at my post you'll see it says 1.3Ghz...Quote:

Test Box = 400mhz Pentium with 128 ram
I usually change the OS on this once every 2 weeks Currently has FreeBsd on it.
Really, who? Think you could send one of those spare boxes my way? :D :)Quote:

Heh heh, they're all crap though, but crap is better than nothing. :) The corporation I work for is cleaning things out, plus a friend's family has been giving away their old machines. Fortunately for me, they figure if the CD drive doesn't work, the whole computer is bad, and off it goes! :D
I always imagined that folks here would be at the 'cutting edge' when it came to their computers. So, it's a nice suprise to see so much variation out there.
Me, one box, Win2k Pro, 512 ram, use it for everything, have been fixing friends old systems up for a while, and keep dropping the hint. When you upgrade, can I have the old box ?
Last box repaired was an OLD P2 333, 64 ram W98. REAL slow, serial mouse..........
none of your new fangled ATX rubbish
Foxy~
Behave yourself old chap.......the children are still in the room?
Get yourself a serial mouse.................you can plug them in when the system is on, and they are allways recognised. Not so with PS2...............and USB does not happen in safe mode :)
Your man with the PII/333 needs more RAM...............the machine is quite adequate, but it does need more RAM .........try crucial and use their memory finding tool..............it is slow because it lacks resource.
Also, defrag the bloody thing!
He needs 256 or 384Mb to run smooth and fast...................I run this PII/266/128/WinME because I am an obstinate b*****D, and I know how................sometimes I use one of the ones on the other side of the room (PIII/533/512Mb/Win98SE) and 1900XP+/1024Mb/WinXPpro
Only thirty feet, but I am too stubborn to swap.............cos then I would go upstairs, and bring something from the lab or the workshop :eek:
cheers

I'm going to make time and build a sorry-ass computer from whatever parts I have lying around and install some oldschool Linux on it :)
