My specs (3x for two netbooks + one laptop):

Netbook #1 :: HP Mini110-1100TU (tord boontje)
the computer hardware is what came out of the box, but
I am booting Fedora 13 (old) LXDE installed to hd1 partition, and prior to stopping receiving updates I managed to get RPMFusion and LivnaRPMs repoes installed.
I also back up my data on a 4GiB Sandisk SD card, a 2GiB SD card, and a 1.1GiB USB Stick I pilfered from my dad's dustying stash of USB sticks.

Netbook #2 :: ASUS EeePC 1005HA (seashell)
the computer hardware is roughly what came out of the box, but
I am booting Lubuntu (LXDE Ubuntu) with Intel Atom kernels (procured by installing but only using twice the UNE repoes and desktop packages) and tons of video editing software I didn't need until recently. I back up the video files on the aforementioned 4GiB SD card (which now has a broken filesystem for some reason).

Laptop #1 :: Acer Extensa 4420
the computer got an upgrade from a bad Hitachi 160GiB hdb to a better Panasonic one with the same amount of memory. I also knocked off four keys and nearly pounded off the space key. I tend to be a tough user for computers to get along with, but my people skills are just fine.
Booting KDE Fedora 13 (old), thinking about switching to PC BSD because it's a hassle trying to get the RPMFusion and LivnaRPMs repoes to work with KDE's KPackageKit software. Backed up online with my MS Windows Live Skydrive account I created while a student at Watsh College.

That's my stuff. Not very impressive. But my ability to utilize these three computers, both as a travel writer and a filmmaker, is what is more important.

Sorry if I disappointed anyone with unment expectations. I'm just a regular guy who likes to mess around with cool new tech and hates it when they go crunchbang!

Blessed be.
