Ubuntu Karmic on "couch surfing" laptop (this is probably the PC I spend most of my time on)

Win7 RC 64bit on gaming desktop (gonna upgrade to a retail license Win7 Ultimate - pricey but it's only $20 more than Pro to not have to reinstall everything...and it's my only "current" Windows PC so I can afford it)

Xubuntu Jaunty on file server / torrent box

Got a couple of XP VMs in VirtualBox - basically old computers that suffered hardware failures but have been converted to VMs good for playing games that won't run on Win7.

Got an old 98SE notebook I use like a console for "retro gaming" and emulation

And I got another old desktop running Xubuntu Karmic that I have no space to actually set up

Oh office PC is XP SP3.

Family's PCs:

Sister's netbook: Ubuntu Jaunty
Mom's laptop : Ubuntu Karmic 64bit / Win7 Home 64bit (never used...came with it :-\) dual boot
Dad's (work) laptop: XP SP3
Dad's (gaming) desktop: XP SP3

I think it's mostly been improved, especially wireless networking, but the new Ubuntu Software Center is just the Idiocracy version of the old Add/Remove Software app. The old app is far faster and more convenient. The new one is good for people who can only hold one thought in their head at a time.

Soooo... yeah. Lots of Koala's here . I've used pretty much any distro of linux that is downloadable over time. Not a single real windows machine in my house anymore... thank god.

Did load a windows VM for the wife that she was so sure she'd need...... she never uses it now.

Desktop: Gentoo (gentoo is rolling release so no version), plus a Windows 7RC1 partition for games.

Laptop: Windows Vista (to be W7 soon) / Arch Linux (again, rolling release so no version).

Then I have 2 Ubuntu server VMs, an XP vm and an Arch linux VM running under Opensuse 11.1 64bit + xen.

My laptop boots windows XP but hard-drive has an additional ext2fs partition.

I boot debian 'Lenny' version of Linux via a USB stick (4gb) and persist changes to the ext2fs.

I also use a custom Slax version of Linux via a USB stick (1gb) too.

Don't need Linux installed on target pc and I can take my installation with me via USB stick
