My Computers

I have three computers and a tablet.  I run Linux on all of them.  I have one dual booting with Mac OSX.  I really hate OS X though.  These days, Linux is a dream to use and is infinitely configurable.  I plan to update this post with screenshots, and more details in the near future.

Mac Mini, running Crunchbang Statler with Openbox.

2009 Mac Mini with OSX Snow Leopard dual booting #! Statler.  It has 4gb of ram, a dual core processor, and 500gb of HD space.  More Info.

IBM Thinkpad t42, Work in Progress, Openbox

2005 IBM Thinkpad t42 running a work in progress Distro of my own manufacture.  It has 2 gb of ram, Pentium M processor, 80gb of HD space, and a terrible dying battery.  It basically needs to be plugged in to be useful.  Thinkpads have been used on the International Space Station, a fact which attests to their reliability.

Inspiron 2200, Crunchbang Statler, Openbox

2005 Dell Inspiron 2200 running #! Statler.  It has 1256mb of ram, a Pentium M processor, 40gb of HD space.  It’s very comparable to the Thinkpad and I use it as my work computer, with slightly inferior build quality.

2012 Nexus 7 32gb running Android 4.2.

Past Computers:

My first computer was a Tandy running Windows 3.1

After that I used a Gateway 2000 with Windows 95

Then I used a Dell Desktop with Windows XP.

2001 Toshiba Satellite 3000-504 running #! Statler.  It has 256mb of ram, 1 ghz Pentium M processor, 20gb of HD space.  It also has a removable floppy drive that I can switch out for the DVD-rom optical drive, kinda cool but useless feature.  It also needs a plug-in wireless card as it doesn’t have built-in wireless.  The Toshiba motherboard runs a very Linux-unfriendly bios, as such I can only run the thing with acpi=off.  Sold to hard-off for 300 yen, not a bad deal.

2005 (?) Dell Inspiron 6000.  2gb of ram, high resolution screen that is dying with many lines of dead pixels.  Dual-booting Windows XP SP3 and #! Statler.  Was a really nice laptop until the monitor started dying.  Battery doesn’t charge either.  I ditched it to hard-off for 500 yen.  No more Planescape until I get it working in Wine or GemRB now though…
