Well I have two computers here. The Primary is as follows.

Dell Optiplex GX150
Pentium III 1.0GHZ
256 megs of ram
Intel 82815 graphics card
CDROM 32X Standard
Running Dapper Drake 6.06

Second machine is a Aptiva 2158-281
AMD K6-2 400
192 megs of ram
20 gigabyte Fujitsu hard drive (master)
30 Gigabyte Western Digital hard drive (Slave)
ATI 2d/3d AGP 1x/2x graphics card
Motorola 56K winmodem with voice running in Linux
DVD onlite I believe
Updated to Breezy Badger 5.10

Couldn't get Dapper Drake installed onto it since my old Dawoo 15 inch monitor could not support higher resolution of 1024X768 since I could not get the resolution lowered on it at the main installation menu when you first boot into the live cdrom that dapper has. So I couldn't install that so it was left with Breezy badger instead. Until I can find a way to bring it down to 800X600 24 on dapper on the live cd it won't go to Dapper. Or I get a second hand monitor some where in order to bring it up to Dapper.

Those GX150s are great machines. I had one and very foolishly sold it.

Right now the room ("Command Central," as the rest of the family calls it) includes. ...


Dell Optiplex GX400: 1.7Ghz, 1GB (RDRAM ... yuck), 10Gb+20Gb, 32Mb GeForce2 GTS. This is for experimenting; it now has Arch 0.7.2 on it
Dell Inspiron 8000: 1Ghz, 512Mb, 60Gb+60Gb, 64Mb GeForce4 440, Xubuntu Dapper. Fallback machine; this is the one that saves me when I've really screwed something up.
Dell Latitude CPx J750GT: 750Mhz, 512Mb, 20Gb+40Gb, 8Mb ATI Rage Mobility M1, stripped down Xubuntu Dapper. This is my music machine.

I have a mess of other Inspiron laptops and another GX400 with a 1.4Ghz in it. They're just kind of lying around, waiting for action. Arch seems to be the most prevalent among those. I'm using one to learn Gentoo.

Just for the record, I'm not a huge Dell fan, I just live on recycled machines and these happen to be the most common ones I find. I've had better, faster machines, but Linux made them ... unnecessary. :)

On my Mac, I'm running Enlightenment E16 with the E-Chaos theme from freshmeat.net and two desktops. One has the Metamorphosis wallpaper from deviantart.com on it, the other the Shadowness-EEVO wall from same place.

The Mac is lime green and that's about it.

My PC doesn't have any cool looking mods attached, but I did think once of cutting out a nice pattern on cardboard and spray painting the side of my case with it.

Its running KDE 3.53 with a Jesse Jane wallpaper in red alphablending and a General Lee wallpaper ("Dukes of Hazzard") in none. Theme is a black and red one I customized and the icons are the Black and White set from carpelinx.de, colorized to match the secondary theme colors of red and dark red.

Tech specs for both are as follows, although I believe I posted this in another thread:

PC: HP Pavilion 523n
512MB RAM
128MB ATI Radeon 9200 SE, to replace integrated 32MB S3 ProSavage DDR.
80 GB Seagate ST380020A (50 C:\, 4.95 D:\, 25 ext3, 512MB swap)
VIA AC'97 sound
Linksys Fast EtherNet LNE100TX
Realtek RTL8139 (integrated, broken)
MAG Innovision monitor, 19 in.
40X Samsung DVD-ROM and Lite-On LTR CD-RW of same speed.
Mac: iMac G3 333
6.4 GB Quantum Fireball drive (3ish GB / and 3ish GB /home, some partitions left over for boot)
Matshita CD-R
Grackle MPC106
ATI Rage 215GP Pro

Well if you don't want of those old laptops I am looking for one right now since my old Toshiba T3200 would not work with Ubuntu and my old Compaq contura tft died on me a number of years ago. I would love to install ubuntu on a laptop and use it for testing internet connections. But right now I'm too poor to afford a new fancy latop over here. ;)

Same here I am not much of a brand named computers personally either and I agree with you on that. I would preferrably building a clone from scratch from motherboard, CPU, memory,etc. and building it all the way up the way I want it. But hey when you get something for free or get it at a dirt cheap price you just don't argue right.

Pretty standard, really. I also had an old K6-2 400 server that ran my website, but I've got it hosted now.

[Compucore]

Can't really complain about standard hardware when it comes to detecting them under ubuntu. Even on clones when you make them yourself and know what to put in for ubuntu. The AMD has been good to me since I was working in clones. They are just as good as the intels with less power consumption.

I plan on getting matching case, fans, and UV round cables sometime soon.

Yeah. I plan on getting a Dell. As a Target employee, I get 12% off, and I don't know about y'all, but here in NC we get tax-free day on Aug 4-6 :-({|=

Ordinarily, I hate Dell and Gateway (even moreso), btw.

Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100
1.8Ghz P4-Mobile
1GB PC2100
80GB Travelstar
1400x1050 15" screen :)
Kubuntu 6.06 & XP Pro
NV Geforce Go 420 16mb (FINALLY WORKING, with the black bar)

Dell Inspiron 8000
1Ghz P3-Mobile
512mb PC133/100?
30GB Travelstar
1600x1200
Kubuntu 6.06 & XP Pro
ATI Mobility M4 (might work in a day or two, still in progress)

I LOVE the screen on this machine, and for a 1ghz machine it literally screams. I hate to say that it's faster than my 6100, but it really seems to be quicker when doing fairly easy tasks. The P3 kinda of bogs when doing some heftier stuff, loading multiple tabs in firefox, burning a CD, stuff like that. Overall i'm dead happy with both laptops, the Toshiba's keyboard and mouse combo is great...and i love the scroll buttons. I wish the Inspy had scroll buttons, but that 1600x1200 makes up for it :). I'm fairly new to the Ubuntu scene, and been into Linux (mainly Debian) for about 6 months now. Slowly learning it, and this forum has been SO helpful since i discovered (K)(X)Ubuntu about a month ago.
