    How many computers do you have?

    Well, seeing as the old poll just got locked, I thought I'd start a new one for anyone who didn't get a chance (like me, was just looking through it when it got locked).

    My count is 14, although 5 are servers, and other than those I only use 2 on a regular basis.
    1. Main desktop - was running Slackware64 13, but I've hacked it and updated so much it's probably better to call it 'Darkrose Linux' now.
    2. Netbook - Acer Aspire One - running Gentoo
    3-7. Compaq servers - all running some form of Debian.
    8. old desktop - currently running Gentoo, but thinking of turning it into a MythBuntu box
    9. old old desktop - used for experimenting with home-brewed x86 kernels
    10. old laptop - as above
    11-14. assorted old laptops I play with occasionally (how fast can I get this thing to run sort of thing).

    I have three:
    • a desktop tower I built myself
    • A Dell Inspiron laptop
    • An Acer Aspire One netbook
    The latter may be light on resources but I certainly put it through it's paces.

    I'm glad I wasn't asked how many computers I've ended up supporting, that would be a whole lot more with all of my family and friends nagging at me

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    1 gateway 486 (QNX)
    1 Dell R450 (QNX)
    1 Dell D630 laptop (XP & Ubuntu)
    1 Dell E9300 laptop (Ubuntu)
    2 OLPC laptops

    Note the prevalence of non-Windows operating systems...

    I have 3 at the moment although one seems to eat hardware so is never working for long. I also have a laptop that has been sent off for repairs.

    I decided not to include my cupboard of computer parts even though there is enough junk in there to build a few more computers

    I voted 4-6 as I have 4 that I use on a regular basis; Over all I own 15 PCs and a couple of IPAQs
