All my boxes are running Linux. My desktop is an AMD K6-2 500. It serves as my gateway, firewall, as well as my Wireless AP (using the hostap modules and a NetGear MA311). I also have an Omnibook 900 with a PIII 650. Both running Slackware 9.1

Got a few:

Server: Redhat 8.0; Gnome; 400Mhz K6-3; 384 MB RAM; 40 GB HD; 12/24 DAT
Server: Redhat 7.2; Text Only; 133Mhz Pentium; 128 MB RAM; 10 GB HD
Desktop: Multi Boot (Fedora w/Gnome and Slack w/KDE); 700 Celron; 512 MB RAM; 40 GB HD (swapable)

May go back to Mandrake for a while on the desktop machine, or at least KDE on Fedora.  Gnome makes for an ugly desktop IMO, fine for servers though since it\'s seems to be more stable then KDE.

I\'m in the several boxes camp as well.  Bit of a hardware junkie.

main desktop: athlon xp 1700 oc\'s to 1900, 384M ram, Geforce2ti, dual boot win2k/debian(unstable)
secondary desktop: athlon tbird 1200, 192M ram, Geforce2mx, dual boot winXP/fedora
portable: celeron 400, 192M ram, neomagic video/sound, dual boot, win2k/debian(unstable)
server: amd k6-2/400, 256M ram, debian woody

assorted HD\'s ranging from 8G to 120G.  in need of a dvd burner.

The only place I sync is to my work machine with outlook 2000, it\'s where the cradle lives.

I\'ll probably pick up an old mac at some point to mess with os X.  

So, where are we going with all this? What\'s in Joshp\'s box?
