Hmm, what I have at home:

* Dell Latitude C640 (P4-m 1800MHz), main machine used for about everything. WinXP
* Pegasos April2, used almost as much as the C640. MorphOS 1.4 and Debian
* beside the TV is a P3/500 that's used for playing media and DVDs. This one used to be my Amithlon box, but since that emulator went and died, I lost interest. Win2k
* Dell Latitude XPi P90, used for flashing and mucking around with DCT-3 nokias. Win98SE and Debian
* under the bed is a Screenless Dell Latitude CP M233, a wlan bridge to be .. haven't decided on XP or Linux yet.

At the moment my Real Amigas are hooked up at a basement me and a few friends rent out:

* A4000/2MB/16MB, CV64/4MB, Scandoubler, CSMK2/060/50MHz/64MB/SCSI, AriadneII, Delfina
* A2000/1MB, CV64/3D/2MB, FlickerFixer, B2060/50MHz/64MB, GG2+ with an NE2000 net card

Nice machines, but their age is showing.. Not very stable any more, no matter what I do. :-(

Added to that there's a ####load of CBM 8-bitters, you can see a snapshot of the collection at it's peak at http://jope.ath.cx:2300/cbm.html (let's see how that poor HP 715/100 handles all the traffic ;-)

Now when you start gaping and aweing at the amount of Windows boxen I run, I'll just say: Windows works for me on the desktop. For servers I almost always go for Linux and at work I administer a huge load of Solaris and HP-UX machines.

Unix experience since '96 (makes me a bit of a n00b to Unix, eh?-) has shown me that it's not nice for my desktop, but great for just about any internet server application you can think of.
