almost the same here,

100% winxp at work
100% ubuntu 9.04 on home desktop
50/50 xp/UbuntuNetbookRemix on the netbook so I can run the car diagnostic/ecu reflash software

I use linux only at home, linux only at work, and don't let anyone do anything with my computers (in particular, the support guys at work).

More: I bought a N800 because it's linux (I would have bought a smartphone otherwise). I wanted all my scripts and programs to work on the tablet, want to use mutt, vi, ssh, rsync, etc.

Always some kind of Linux OS. More than 30 yrs of OSs and any Linux is great. I like to be intimate with my machines. Thank you for asking.

Same here ;-) Running Linux[1] mostly[2] everywhere[3], ever since a fateful day in 1993 when I went through a ~50 floppy SLS[4] installation and never looked back.

[1] No particular relig^Wdistro, currently a mix of Fedora/Centos/Debian/Ubuntu boxen[5] and various "embedded" variants.
[2] Modulo a few OpenBSD firewalls here and there.
[3] Even in places I'd never expect to find it. You know "world domination, fast" has happened when you receive a GPL notice with your TV.
[4] 386BSD also sounded good at the time but it just wouldn't fit in my box.
[5] Is it a bad sign when you're running out of IP addresses on a /27? And if that's just your home LAN?

Programming Fortran in Mass. in 1970. Worked with Unix on Dummy Terminals from about 1976 appox.. Then consulting for financial institutions then on to PCs with 300 baud modem to Unix Mainframes... and you can guess the rest.

I'm all over the place... Linux, Mac, Windows... and that's just part of the day.

Was 100% Linux till I switched 2 of the 3 machines to Windows 7.
Linux on N810 tablet, Linux on Zaurus PDA before that.
Windows at work.

Yeah, probably.

  • I'm tired, having just finished my first week on mids. and was on about 3 hrs of sleep when I did it.
  • <insert other pithy excuse here>

Sorry about that.
