Linux runs my life :-)

Published:

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 :-)

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 G1 - Android

  6. Motorola Rokr e6 - MontaVista

  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?
