How many platforms Do You Run at Home
-
I've got Windows 2000 and XP (home and Pro) on the various PCs in the house and an iMac (OS X) in the kitchem.
-
Win XP Pro on my stand alone desktop machine at home. Its basically only used by me as a filestore and by my girlfriend and lodgers as a web browser because I have a laptop from work which I find much easier to work with. I've got that running SQL2000 and Yukon (IDW11) side-by-side so it does for all my SQL needs. Unfortunately its not powerful enough to be running VPC simultaneously. But I'll get there
I have a Linksys wireless router which is shared by my desktop and laptop. This I plan to be my central hub as soon as my budget extends to bolting on wizardry and gadgetry of all kind
I also wouldn't mind a Mini Mac which I can stuff on a small shelf behind my desktop and have them both running through a switch box to my existing keyboard and monitor. Can you do that???

XP on the laptop. Windows ME on the other one's. I used to run Linux on my home computer's, however now my elder son will start school this year and try to get some good beginners programm for that age running on Linux
Another reason was, I don't want him to be considered an outsider in school

I think I've got almost the full set
Kid's laptop: Win 98 SE
Wife's desktop: Win ME
Work laptop: Win 2000 Pro
My desktop: Dual boot Win XP Pro and Mandrake Linux 10.1
All held together with a Linksys WAG54G wireless ADSL router. (I'd love to replace Win ME but if I got anything wrong I'd never hear the end of it!)

Next will be adding a Windows 2003 Server for gerneral testing and storing data.
And several Virtual PC setups on my main desktop icluding things like MS DOS 2, Windows 1.01, MS BOB (Remember him), and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on to install in it as well as a Mac X PearPC virtual PC.

1 XP Home Desktop
1 XP Prof Laptop
1 XP Prof Desktop (test environments within Virtual PC 2004)
1 Windows 2003 Server including SQL Server 2000
1 Windows 98SE desktop with Internet connection for visitors to use
(Most of this is made possible by my MSDN subscription)

Too many computers, although technically all MS
SBS2003 as the Domain, Exchange, Proxy, SUS ..
Win2KEE with SQL Server 2000, and UDB, will add Oracle when I get a break. 2gig ram, 2.6 Hyper, 450 gig dasd. No raid. Has older beta of MS VM, but not working currently.
All the rest are XP Pro SP2+
My Workstation, wireless ExtremeG
Laptop, wireless G, has MS VPC, nit really being used though.
Better Halfs WS, Wireless ExtremeG (this machine needs to be replaced)
Homecontroller, heavily automated lighting etc. Wired
Clunker / Lab box. Can boot to Linux, haven't for a while. also Wired. Probably hardly worth the electricity to run.
With 2 Wireless nets
one D-link G inside the firewalls.
One NetGear B outside the firewalls for my work laptopS.
Most are cobbler together from here and there.

Only the geek test, Steve mentioned in his article. but to be honest, I outperformed him by far. I think my last result result was well above 50%
Just realized today that this site changed a bit.
Hm, what time is it in Australia, IIRC you live there, right? Having slepping problems?

Phill,
sorry, I really wasn't aware, that you're almost 10 hours ahead of my timezone.
Due to my new-born little daughter I have now two weeks holidays (more or less)
