Other Operating Systems

I'm interested in putting together a poll on what other OS versions Archers use.

But before I put together the poll, I'm looking for a list of what people are using or have used  both at home and at work besides Arch.

Home: SuSE, RedHat, Windows.
Work: AIX, Solaris, SuSE, RedHat, Fedora, HPUX.

Re: Other Operating Systems

I figure most of us will use either arch only or windows and arch at home.

Re: Other Operating Systems

I primarily use Arch, but I have an install of WindowsXP for playing certain games such as "Serious Sam: The Second Encounter" and Maple Story.

For me at work I use only arch, desktop and server.  at work i'm confined to windows xp, but I support Solaris on a very very very limited scope.

Put me down for Archlinux on the linux side - and PC-BSD on the BSD side.

Re: Other Operating Systems

My laptop runs Arch primarily (of course). Since I have a habit of handing out Ubuntu to Windows users who are interested in moving over to Linux, I have a 6G partition with Ubuntu on it, that I never actually use myself. I also have a WinXP partition which annoys me to death, cause the only reason it's there is because of my TV-out, which isn't functional under Linux.

Cheers!

Re: Other Operating Systems

ARCH!!!
Gentoo
Windows XP/2k (only at work - I promise!!! :-)
FreeBSD
Solaris

I guess I will drop Gentoo and FreeBSD at some point of time and install Arch on those machines instead. But that wont happen for a while cause they are quite productive and grew over the past couple years.
I used AIX for a while when still working in a hospital - but I am not working there anymore!!!!!!!!!! :-)
