I dual-boot with Gentoo and XP with my latop.
I also have a server that is exclusively Gentoo. |

Yes, on everything.
On my main desktop, laptop, laptop-server, 2nd desktop which may become a 6TB fileserver.
However, I do use a lot of keyworded packages as the stable stuff versions are almost Debian like. |

Of course I do have an XP on a vm to use my canon scanner and stuff like 3ds max when I'm forced to. regomodo wrote: | ...as the stable stuff versions are almost Debian like. | Oh come on - people don't joke about as having KDE 2.0 ;] |

My Desktop = Gentoo AMD64
My Laptop = Win7/RC1 32bit even though it's a Turion64 (Win7/RC1 64bit failed to install - wanted drivers for the CD/DVD yet could see the installation files) It's also my testing rig though until I get an Intel based WiFi card, it wont get Gentoo installed.
Rest of the family
Mum's Desktop = XP Pro (soon to join the Gentoo Collective)
Mum's Laptop = XP-home (Need Intel Wi-Fi card before Gentoo Installation)
Sister's Desktop = XP-Pro soon to be switched to Gentoo as she only surfs the web/webmail using Firefox
Nephew's Desktop = XP-Pro (Online Gamer - Guildwars - so stuck with Windows) |

I just begin to use Gentoo. For now, it is the only one I use since my Windows 7 stopped to work after failing to install Mac OS X on my pc. I have used Ubuntu for few years and tried few other distributions. |

On my server (built from parts I found laying around) I run Gentoo amd64; headless
on my Desktop (HP m7790y) I have:
MS XP
MS Vista
Mac OS-X
Gentoo i686
And Ubuntu in a VM
I run Gentoo as my main OS. In a 3mo period of time I may boot into one of the other OSs once. I hate to do so because I there are so many updates that need to be done. Other than, I like telling people I have a multi boot system, I have no idea why I even have the others on my box. If I can't do it in Gentoo/linux I simply don't do it to be honest. |

current rigs:
Server -
Quad Core Phenom 9950
8GB DDR2800
2x750GB SATAII (Seagate, forget which specific brand)
Gentoo amd64, hardened-sources, all the prescribed hardening stuff set up/enabled (e.g. PaX, grsec, dmcrypt+lvm,hardened toolchain+apps)
headless
I tout the hardware as It's only very very recently I've bothered upgrading to hardware that has a place in the 21st century. Before that it was Gentoo exclusively on an Athlon XP 1800+ TBRED-A, 2GB PC2100 - it too was headless+hardened gentoo
Laptop -
Dell Latitude D610
1.86GHz Pentium M
2GB some sorta memory, dont recall what offhand
160GB SATAII @ 5400RPM (boo!)
Gentoo only. I *did* have Ubuntu only on here for ~9 months, but when unemployment hit and I had time on my hands, rebuilt this with Gentoo. Works beautifully
Spare laptop given to my mother as a gift -
Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
Precision M70 (forget the specs)
I *did* have a Windows 2003 VM sitting atop my old server for work purposes, but as the job changed I no longer had a need.
Aside from VM's, I have been Windows-free at the house since 2004. Coincidentally, I have been a gentoo user since December 2004.
Last job was XP at work, this job is a bloody Mac Mini at the office (I run gentoo full screen under VMWare Fusion!) |

At home Gentoo is my only OS everywhere: on server, desktop (though my desktop may be easy accounted as server too: both of them work 24/7) and on my EeePC, it was some challange to install it on eee quickly, but really distcc helps.
At work I use mostly Scientific Linux due to a lot of reasons, most of them are not technical though. Some boxes are on winxp, I'm strictly against this, but it's not mine choise; our lab is part of a large institute and unfortunately allmost all internal docs are in m$-only formats, openoffice is good, it is enough for me, but it is obviously not 100% compatible and the latter is enough for those of my colleges who refuse to use Linux at all. _________________ Per aspera ad astra! |

Gentoo is my main OS. I have Windows on this machine as well, but I only use it for games every now and then. Laptop is Gentoo, dedicated machine is also Gentoo. Netbook will be Gentoo when I get it. See the pattern? _________________ $ ./lurk;

Netbook, I think that you will cry when you see that the emerge -e system can take 28 hours |

Gentoo is definitely one of my favourite operating systems but not the only one. Currently I have:
Gentoo on my desktop (Asus Eee box B202)
Gentoo on my 19" server with several vservers
Gentoo on my backup server (Linksys NSLU2 with 500GB disk attached via USB)
FreeBSD on three other servers
Voyage Linux on my router (Soekris net-4801)
Xandros Linux on my Eee PC (I had Gentoo on a 16GB SD-card which died a few weeks ago, will have to reinstall). _________________ Registered Linux user #62727 |

Could always use distcc with all the other Gentoo systems. |

In fact, but the thrill to install Gentoo is to actually compile with the box, not use an another one to get the job done |

Haha. I once tried that with a P3M@450Mhz. Tried to compile kde3.5-meta and gave up after a week. |

I did that on a PII-450 with I think 64M ram. Took a whole week non-stop 24/7 to get Gentoo-1.3/Kde-3.2/Gnome compiled. |
