Are you using SFU or Cygwin?

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.

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.

I'll probably reinstall and get into it again when they release KDE 4.0.

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

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).

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

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".
