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
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 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 computersLinux User #453176

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
