Linux runs my life :-)

Submitted by on Sunday, February 1, 2009 – 9:06 am26 Comments | 16 views

So I use Linux for most aspects of my tech life.  I only run Windows at school or work but nearly 99% of the time I am running Linux.

Yes, I can listen to music, watch DVDs, and edit Word documents in Linux.  Most of my colleagues and students do not even now that the documents I send them were edited with an open source word processor.

The only thing I cannot do is play my favorite games in Linux.  That will change in a couple years though as Linux starts to take a chunk out of the market icon smile Linux runs my life : )

Here are my current Linux systems:

  1. Desktop – Arch Linux
  2. IBM Thinkpad T60 Laptop – Sidux Linux
  3. Acer Aspire ONE Netbook – Ubuntu EEE
  4. Dell Inspiron 8100 Notebook – CentOS
  5. T-Mobile G1Android
  6. Motorola Rokr e6MontaVista
  7. Nokia N800 Internet Tablet – Maemo

My Dell Inspiron 8100 and Motorola Rokr are currently working at the moment.  I need to replace the power supply unit on my Dell.  This will be the third replacement.  I dropped my Motorola phone a couple weeks ago.  It bounced a couple times.

Both units will be running by the end of the month.

So how about you?  What do you run Linux, or BSD (that means you Mac guys), on?
