My tale

Linux

Not just an OS, it's a way of life.

Photos of my various incarnations:

[Hardware]

[Operating System]

Enermax

The kids' multiseat minecraft box, with a Quad-core 3.2Ghz Athlon and dual 560Ti GPUs cobbled together from craigslist.

nairball

Win7 gaming rig. 3.2Ghz Athlon X4 with some 6 GB of RAM and a Geforce 560Ti.

noidea

Sofia's Win8 Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 desktop replacement laptop. The Intel 7260 bt/wifi card is miserable and causes no end of connectivity problems, even with several workarounds in place. There were also lots of problems with the hybrid Intel HD4600 / NVidia Geforce GT 745M GPUs until enough drivers were finally updated to finally keep the Intel GPU from dorking up the works. I don't think she's ever going to let me choose a computer for her again, and I'm certainly going to try harder to avoid everything Intel.

uairball

My old skin from before I was transplanted into a little ION shoebox. Dual core 2.2Ghz Athlon II 64 and a Geforce 8800

Thidarat

Mom's old Dell Inspiron 1150 entertains the kids these days. Upgraded to a top-of-the-line 2.6Ghz P4 with 1.5GB of DDR RAM. Unfortunately, its GPU is not upgradeable, so it's stuck with non-OpenGL-capable embedded intel graphics. Which is a good way to make sure the kids only use it to do work.

Tinkle

Cheap Win8 HP Stream 7 tablet running Sofia's small Steam library. Mostly just use it for Chrome and Mini-Metro.

Eeek

Sofia's little EeePC 901 20GB which had run eeebuntu 3, thenFuduntu, and now just runs a recent Linux Mint LiveUSB distro. It's connected to the kids' Casio digital piano so we can record / playback USB MIDI with Rosegarden

G-Tablet

Viewsonic 10" G-Tablet running VeGaN-Tab. Also played with TeamDRH ("Dirty Reset Hole") on it for a while, but went back to VeGaN-Tab for speed and stability and better devices support. Mostly just use it to stream music.

RaspBMC

Not really sure what to do with this Raspberry Pi v.B ... maybe get some BSOD screensaver on it so I can troll various monitors I find in public.

Sputnik

Sofia's AMD-based Toshiba Satellite desktop replacement laptop running Windows 8 x86.

PaperWt

2.2Ghz P4-M Dell Inspiron 8500, with a Geforce4 video card too old to really do anything useful. Used to be my gaming box back in the day... now the display is dead, time to scavenge it for parts.

Sonechka

Sofia's 700Mhz G3 iBook running MacOSX. Made a half-decent Ken Burns effect screensaver box (except for its limited color display). Had the highest resale value, sold it to some kid for $60 in 2010.

Ana

Nastja's old Sony Vaio desktop from her college days. I managed to scavenge a bit more SDR RAM for it as well as a 1.6Ghz P4, but its silly SiS chipset had some incompatibility with nVidia cards. I did stick an ancient ATi Rage 7500 All-in-Wonder in it before unloading it at a yard sale.

PC

Dual 2.2Ghz Athlon XP-M (unlocked to work in SMP on a Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard), it was a decent machine with a Geforce 6800GS. Sold it to a neighbor.

pgcps2

P.G. County IBM notebook, running Windows XP something. Alas, we hardly knew ye. Well, maybe enough to break into the Administrator account so we could actually install decent gradebook software.

pgcps

P.G. County Department of Education standard-issue Pentium 166 Gateway laptop, running Win98

tosh

33Mhz 486 Toshiba laptop running Debian that got Rowin through his last semester of college, and had taken to riding around in the trunk of his car for no apparent reason.

devbusiness

PPro 200 Dell that lurked behind the sofa.
