@J – I still prefer Ubuntu and it still runs on all of my machines (including servers), but the corporate types like to have the big companies behind them so RHEL is much more common in the workplace.

I’m not going anywhere

Does this mean you are not going to be posting on a regular basis as you once did? What do you prefer now, Red Hat or Ubuntu?

At silverorange, we have a Dell laptop named brick as well. It’s mostly because it’s eight years old, has a 15″ screen and weighs about 10 lbs.

Blarg – my old gaming rig, ripped apart for parts now.
Guilty-Spark – my old alternate rig, scrapped for parts now.
Gravemind – Somewhat decent gaming rig I built for my friend.

Micron – My micron file server.
