Who's is biggest??!!

[jme]

Okay, I have had a lot of flack from my housemates and girlfriend about how many boxes I have and that I don't really 'need' them all - I need proof that I am not the only one!!

How many boxes do you have and what do they do??

I have:
Desktop - PIII 700 512MB RAM - Slackware 9.1
LapTop - PIII 500 320MB RAM - Slackware 9.1
Secondary Desktop - AMD Duron 700, 384MB RAM Win XP Pro, Debian 3.0r2 (sid)
WebServer - PI 200 114MB RAM - Debian 3.0r1
Email Server - PI 233 32MB RAM - Debain 3.0r2 & Qmail
Router - PI 233 32MB RAM - SmoothWall GPL - Green/Orange/Red setup but waiting for the new release so that I can start playing around with wireless for the laptop!!

How BIG is yours??

[Mr_Sfstk8d]

Desktop - AMD 1.4GHz MS XP (for the XYL and youngin's)

Experimentation - Aptiva something in various stages of builds. Basically, in Tinker Toy format currently.

3 "Victims" - assorted boxes ranging from 333 up to 1.0 Also in kit forms, from time to time. It's like having my own CIS lab. Only slower.

Collecting Dust - Commodore64 I don't know WHAT I'm going to do with this. It's been hacked, years ago by my Dad. Replaced the CPU and is now in 2 pieces with a heat sink bigger than my fist and an external fan.

How geeky am I if the 1.4 box at the top was built entirely of spare parts (case included) from the closets of me and 2 freinds??? WITHOUT touching any of the other boxes.

I have no shame :twisted:

Anjong ke seh yo,

Are you using the personal or professional version of SuSE?

How are you finding it - I did use SuSE 8.1 Personal and really liked it, but I had a play around with the Live version on 9.0 and didn't really like it.

out of the RPM distros suse is the only one i would consider as a viable option, because YaST2 provides some function at maintaining the rpm system, the problem i see with it, it must be in yast to install so software is limited to source, so that quickly takes the rpm distros back out of being an option for me

[Asbenson]

Oh yeah SuSE is great, YaST2 is one the of main reasons for me sticking with it. Sorta getting my feet wet you know. I'm using SuSE 9.0 personal version.
