Acer TM 4202 Laptop - Dual Boot Mint Bea and XP Home
Desktop - Dual Boot Mint Bea and XP Home
Old Desktop - Mint Bea, using this as a file server experiment and so far it's working great. I was able to boot into Mint on my laptop and stream music off the old PC with out any stutters
I hope to be getting my hands on a 2nd laptop soon and that will be running nothing but Mint
I'm running Bianca 2.2, PcLinuxOS, WindozeXP. and have run not too long ago in the near past PCbsd, Mepis, Kanotix, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Suse 10.2,, Mandriva 2007, and a few other not so well known distro's.

Are you watching me?
Ditto for me. I just installed PCLOS 2007 on my laptop, it rocks.
I don't miss SUSE
Linux Box (homebuilt) - Cassandra, PCLOS, openSUSE (Mint first in Grub)
Windows Box (VPR Matrix) - XP home
These are networked with 3 other family member's computers - all running XP (They gotta have their games or job software).
I had the pleasure to install the Ubuntu 7.04 "Server Edition" on a few SUN X4200 servers (8 x DualCore CPU's, 32 GB RAM ...) ... Maaan, are those machines *loud*
But the ILOM feature is awesome
You were right about SUN ... their hardware is pretty *hot*

Ubuntu on those boxes? Aaaaah but that is such a waste, nothing does "threads" like Solaris, not even close
BTW - Sun just loaded Solaris up on their prototype 16 core processor
cassandra on one box

Windows XP for synchronizing my cell phone (Nokia N70) and my pocket pc (Dell Axim x51v). Linux Mint 3.0 for now (waiting anxiously KDE edition). In the past 3 months I have tried numerous distributions (openSUSE 10.2, Mandrive 2007.1 Spring, Kubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu 7.04, PCLinuxOS 2007, Debian Etch 4.0, Mint KDE Bianca 2.2, etc). Each one of the above has its pros and cons. I like KDE better (than GNOME) but the mint team has put a bigggg effort through in order to make one of the best distros out there. Cassandra does everything quite well (except for the two main reasons mentionned above - that's why I keep using XP).
I use two Desktop PCs. One with Windows XP, one with dualbooting between Mint Cassandra and Frugalware.

I'm running Mandriva Spring 2007.1 on my laptop, Mint XFCE on my older desktop computer, and on my custom-built (but rather old) desktop I'm running winxp (so I could set up my network and deal with the occasional cd or dvd that linux couldn't hadle) and Mint GNOME. I am considering getting rid of all of these my old desktops and just getting a new laptop to replace them. I'll need winvista to set up my network (yeah, like that's gonna work), but am undecided about the linux partition: Mandriva, mint xfce/gnome/kde. All good choices.
