We've got a nice little community going here and as it's growing in size I'm finding it difficult to remember which distro and which hardware everyone is running. How about we keep a list of who's using what..? It could prove helpful if you know someone using the same stuff as you.

I'll start the ball rolling.....

I don't post much if at all but I am an avid *nix user these days :)

Currently building a raid 6 array on a dual athlon mp 2400 1GB ram system for a storage server, 6x500GB WD RE2s and linux MD raid all running on debian testing

Along with that I have a bit of quiet downloader/toy box which is a Sun Ultra 5 workstation running debian testing sparc64 on an USIIi 333MHz with 512MB ram and a pair of 80GB disks shoehorned into the case :D

I am too lazy to run linux at home as it's my day job so use OSX.

Work is a mix of over four thousand Solaris 8/10, RHEL 3/4 boxes.

Hardware: rsh lshw
 
LOL

OSX>linux && OSX~=solaris

That wasn't exactly my point...

I am too lazy to run linux at home as it's my day job so use OSX.

linux is not OSX. I'm SURE you're aware they are very different beasts (apples to apples and all that???)

:rolleyes:

EDIT: Solaris > linux for a server. for a desktop (depending on the user...) linux > OSX > XP > Solaris.
