Well, since the MacHeads have one...

EDIT: Forgot to add mine...
400MHz PII/256MB RAM/40GB HDD Web/VPN/RADIUS/Fileserver running Debian
216MHz MIPS 16MB RAM/4MB Flash WRT54G running OpenWRT
1.76GHz PM/1GB RAM/80GB HDD running Ubuntu

GNOME on the 1st and last. KDE sucks, despite what Linus Torvalds says

My Windows XP SP2 box has a full POSIX layer and an XServer, does that count?

Poser!

Hmm.. lesse: Homebrew X2 4200+ /w Slamd64 Linux (and yeah, XP too for games, *sigh*)

Mac OS X.
All Mac users are Unix users. Except the greybeards, of course.

Sure

Are you using SFU or Cygwin?

What desktop enviro?

If I hadn't made a KNOPPIX CD a few months back, my computer would be completely unusable now.

I normally use Gentoo with GNOME, BTW.

SFU.

SFU.

Is there any way to get that w/o the bothersome registration?

I've got an AMD 2200+ with a gig of RAM and a sixty gig HD. I mostly use winxp on it, but I've got an old Fedora install on the second HD.

The thing that gets the most use is a little P133 with 65 megs of RAM, running OpenBSD 3.2. It's doing firewall/router duty.

I've also got a Sun Sparcstation 5 that I, ah, "inherited" from my previous position. It, too, is running OpenBSD, but it's not really doing anything except sitting there right now.

This board is running on a dedicated Linux machine. The specs have been listed before.

File Server:
Frankencomputer based on an old Gateway
900 Mhz Athalon (I'm pretty sure it's the T-Bird Core)
128 MB Ram
20 GB HDD
Cheapass PCI ethernet Card
GFX card irrelevant as no monitor is hooked up to it
Debian Linux
Apache Webserver
SSL for running commands n' shit
Main Computer:
I have debian on here but due to it being borked/me constantly using windows for games it hasn't been booted into forever. I keep saying "david, when you get some free time you'll have to fix it." But I never do because I keep finding things that are more fun to do with my free time. Since it never gets run, I'll not bore you with specs. I'll probably reinstall and get into it again when they release KDE 4.0.

Main Computer
OS: Mandriva Linux 2005 LE, Win2kPro for a few games that I can't get to run under Linux.
Linux Desktop: KDE 3.3.2
PSU: 400 Watt Starlogic
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ @ 2100 MHz
MBoard: Abit KV7
RAM: 512 MB

Video Capture/Firewire: Pinnacle Systems DV500 Firewore/Analog

File Server
OS: Mandrake Linux 10 Official

RAM: 384 MB
Video: GeForce 3 I think
HDD's: 15GB Maxtor, 30GB Maxtor, 60GB Maxtor, 40GB Maxtor of unknown origin (just found a spare HDD lying around when I built the machine, no idea where it came from)
CD-R: HP CD-Writer+ 8x4x32x

Eh, screw KDE and straight Debian and move onto Ubuntu. I have seen the light- you can too !

Let's see, every computer in the house has one form of Linux or another... well, except my SGI machine, that is.

Main Computer
Athlon XP 2500+
1x 20, 1x 60, 1x 120 GB hard drive (for 200 GB effective space)
768 MB RAM

400 MHz Pentium II
192 MB RAM
12 GB hard drive
Gentoo Linux

Car laptop
IBM Thinkpad T20
700 MHz Pentium III
256 MB RAM
20 GB hard drive
Gentoo Linux

Graphics laptop
Apple Powerbook 12"
1.4 GHz G4
768 MB RAM
60 GB hard drive
Mac OS X and Gentoo Linux

Work laptop
Dell Inspiron 4150
1.9 GHz Pentium-M
512 MB RAM
60 GB hard drive
Windows XP and Ubuntu

Webserver
Athlon 750 MHz
256 MB RAM
1x 13, 1x 40 GB hard drive
Gentoo Linux

Firewall and Router
Pentium II 450 MHz
128 MB RAM

IPCop

My Web/File/CVS/Database server runs Fedora Core 4:

PIII 450
Misc 'Lucky Star' motherboard
768mb RAM
ATI Rage PRO
250gb Maxtor DiamondMax9

Tried FC and SuSE as a desktop OS, but I couldn't get it working how I wanted myself, nor find anyone willing to help with some of the problems, so I've stuck with Windows, which I know backwards.

Have you tried FreeNX? Lot more bandwidth efficient than regular remote X, so very responsive for remote connections from the outside, plus supports suspending session (like GNU Screen for X). Kinda flaky compared to the official paid version though (if uncleanly disconnected, have to SSH in to manually suspend session).

Laptop
P3 650 Mhz
256 MB RAM
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a (Sarge! Oo-rah!)
KDE 3.3, I think.

Home Desktop
AMD Athlon T-bird 1.33 Ghz
512 MB PC2100
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0A (Sarge again! Oo-rah!)
KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.something.

Home Desktop crapped out, so I'm currently upgrading it.

Yeah, what's up with Ubuntu? It's just so brilliant.

Incidentally...

Lappy:

Ubuntu 5.10 / XP dual boot (that XP Partition is toast, I only left it there because I was worried about Ubuntu not detecting my wireless card, a concern which was quickly abaited)

Cel M Processer
768mb RAM
40gb HDD

Web/file server

Ubuntu 5.10, does have E17 installed on it, while it is pretty Gnome works just fine.

Athlon 1200
512mb RAM
280gb over 3 HDD

My gaming machine, an athlonXP 3200 with 1gb RAM is currently running windows XP and will probably continue to do so for a while yet, although I'll probably set that up to dual boot as soon as I can clear enough room.

No I haven't. Regular X is working fine for me; I actually run it with my brother on the diskless all day yesterday with ntop running; the average bandwidth used as about 1 megabit per second, and the peak was 8 (when he tried to stream video); well within acceptable numbers, even with my 10Mps switch in the middle.

However, I just tried downloading FreeNX, and I will say right off the bat that the documentation sucks. I'll probably have to spend some time to figure out how to install it properly, and even then, since regular X is working fine for everything I am doing on the LAN, I probably won't change anything.

Still too much bandwidth consumption for internet usage though. And there are prebuilt .deb packages from Kanotix.com

Update:

I'm now running my main machine as a dual boot Ubuntu/XP. Couldn't be happier. Gnome is my environment of choice, although with my file server I've just been using ssh, especially cool after discovering the wonders of "screen".
