Hello all.
As an every day OS i tend to stick with the main stream windows for my desktops. Mainly because this is the OS im most cumfortabale with.
I never used to like PC's and thought they where sporned from the devil him self. Back in the day i had the far supearia Amiga A1200, A500 with many upgrade's. They where the days
How ever i am entreged buy the hole open source idear and have been using (or playing with) different linux disstros for a few years now.
I started with
smoothwall and loved it, and eventualy started to try the desktop disstros.
The disstros iv used most are: OpenSUSE, Ubuntu & Fedora
The machines in my home at this moment in time are running:
Server = ClarkConnect 5
Media = XP Pro with media protal (media protal is grate but i do plan on using MythTV once iv worked out how to install it on CC)
Gamer = Vista Ultimate 64-Bit
Borther's = XP Pro
Pearent's = Vista Ultimate 64-Bit
HP Laptop = XP pro / ubuntu
test laptop = OpenSUSE
Sister = MacBook (dont know witch OS think its 10)
Other device's that are connected to my network and are used for things other than there perpose are:
Old school xbox's running softmod XBMC dash
PS3 which i would like to try "yello dog" on if i can convince my bro that it wont kill his PS3
Nokia N95 with a add-on installed that lets me stream live and recorded TV from my media portal PC when home or away.
Sonny Ericsson w995
Iv included the phones as these days they are getting more and more like mini PC's and feel they are possibly going to be very usefull. I can all ready use my n95 to check email from my CC box.
Any how i think im rambleing on a bit now. Take a look at part of my setup if you like. Unfortunately i do not have any of these slave's that you speak of and i think it show's
