however the remaining hardware includes

1x Netserver E800
and a custom box with an EPIA ML8000G acting as a Fileserver

other machines in the house include a PS3 running ArchlinuxPPC, a XBOX running Gentoox, an IBM Lenovo Thinkpad T60 running Crunchbang 8.10.2 and a bunch of routers acting as the central intelligence in the house for routing/service distribution including system updates and package installation :D



Careful, don't let the remaining computers gain intelligence, rise up and exact revenge for their fallen bretheren :lol:

this is a true fact, however by intelligence, asking one of routers for a status report will return information about all networked machines, which ones need updating, sensor data and the like. I wrote a small messaging and data collection daemon in ruby for each machine's Package Management System, If I ever clean the code up I will release it under the GPL, the routers run a HTTP server that collects all that and exports information via /<machinename>/<command>/<args> so http://tiffany/mordor/status/cpu/temp will return mordor's cpu temperature, do not ask why I named one of them tiffany I can never remember why...

I have a Toshiba A75 as my current machine... love my Toby. Right now I run Ubuntu 8.04 and Slackware... oh, 12 I think? on:
60 GB HD, partitioned into 3 18's and a 6-swap for compiling
1.5 ram, maxed, sadly
3.06 P4 Prescott... bloody hot thing...
I also go nowhere without my microsoft intelli mouse. Probably the only M$ product in the house that isn't cussed out on a daily basis.

Keny has a decent tower, not sure on the specs off the top of my head... but it plays Battlefield... :P

I also have a 486DX2, which is sweeeeeet! Got a 5.25 floppy, no HD, working on that, and I forget the ram. It's getting win 3.1

Have a Packard Bell tower, Pentium 200mhz, think 2 gb HD, and 64? maybe 32 mb ram.

And an Emachines 667mhz, 64 ram, 6gb HD...

The above two are linux boxes, though I forget the distro Keny put on them.

I also have two G3 Imacs... love my babies. One's in the shop though... Ones a 233 rev. A bondi and the others a 266 strawberry.

And that's just what works. I need more space.

Also am picking up a server, no HD, dual P3 733's, 256? ram... HUGE case.

I'll throw some pics up when the camera can be bothered to work.

No pictures, sorry. But... my laptops:

New laptop:
Compaq Presario CQ60
Intel Pentium Dual 2.16 GHz (both cores of course)
3 GB RAM, DDR2 (don't know the speed)
250 GB SATA drive
Windows Vista (85 GB allocated), Fedora 10 (128 GB allocated)

Old laptop:
Toshiba Satellite L35
Intel Celeron M, 1.6 GHz I think
1.5 GB RAM, DDR2 about 600MHz
60 GB SATA drive
Windows Vista (35 GB), Ubuntu 8.04 (25 GB)

I'm not sure about any of the drives or graphics cards tbh... I love my new laptop. It's not even a week old, and I've been learning to use Fedora and yum. (Very easy, fortunately.)
