Linux/UNIX users check in

If you use Linux or UNIX on your home system, sound of. Flavour, What you like/dislike, do you develop software for one or both platforms?, are you a user, power user, or super user? Favourite utils ?? etc...

Me
2 vista boxes - Windoze - Outside the topic of this thread
2 linux boxes - SUSE , Debian
1 UNIX box - SOLARIS(Open Solaris -> Belinix)

Favorites.
Suse for ease of use for browsing ...
Debian for better utils(Suse may have the utils but I just have not used them)
Belinix - SWEEEEETTTTT!!!

I develop software sometimes. Primarily for embedded linux

Favorite utils GCC of course

Language : asm, c++, c#(mono)

No php or anything like that. I leave that to the smart people.

I am running a six year old Dell Dimension 4100 that I have stepped up to 512 MB ram and added 200 Gig drive. This year I installed GeForce 6200 LE so I could use Beryl Desktop and Google Earth. Later this year I want a bare bones to move the DVD drives, HD, vid card and use my 20 in crt.

I run CentOS on 3 web servers and fedora on a fourth.

I have a Kubuntu run-time CD that someone gave me but haven't tried it yet. I may set up a dual boot system with kubuntu just to play with it.

I used the mandrake distro on a desktop for awhile, but I am guessing mandrake is dead?

It has been a few years since I have done a linux desktop with KDE or gnome.

Anyone here remember X? Now those were the days!

These days I just use the old command line...

Madrake is dead but has been resurrected in the form of mandriva. Not too bad of a distro. X is still around and is still the basis of most of the desktops. In order for KDE or any other desktop to run, the xserver is usually active. As for the command line, is there any other way?
