How many Fedora's do you Have?
Currently in my house we have two Workstations and one Laptop.
We are planning of putting it on another workstation so my mother can play Frozen Bubble and my brother wants to Fedora on his new laptop, if he can ever afford one.
My farther also has CentOS on one of his computers for work.

Only 2 at the moment, soon to be 3.
It was going to be 3 and soon to be 4, but my dad's laptop didn't want to play nice with Fedora so it's back on Vista.

I had 2, but Mac G4 was less than nice with F8. Still looking to install some form of *nix on it though.

I have Fedora 9 running on this five year old box. I have Eeedora (Fedora 8) running on my Asus eee pc. That little min-laptop is great. I originally put Ubuntu on it but I was more used to Fedora and so I removed it. I use it at work and just plug in a 19 in. monitor. I am envious of the larger screen eee version coming out this summer.

If you really want to know... edit your thread and add a poll.

I'm guessing they're broken BECAUSE they have XP and Vista on, not because they had Fedora on?

Isn't OS X technically a form of *nix? OS X is a lovely operating system, I stick with that on my mac and use Fedora (and XP) on this box.

Isn't it only an extra inch or so bigger? I've heard a lot of good reviews about the eee, I was looking at getting one myself.

I have 4. I have F7 as my primary system on my main PC, with F8 x86_64 on a test partition.
On my second PC, I have F8 installed twice, one in English and the other en français.

I would hold out for the larger one. I find myself making a lot of typing errors on the eee. The newer one has a wider screen and a slightly better keyboard, plus more memory. The original eee is pretty nice. I have been amazed how well it performs. I had an older computer die and I just plugged all the drives into the eee and I was using it as a main box for awhile. The VGA output is decent too. No digital output yet though.

Just 1, FC6 sharing a single hdd with W2K. I have another, older AT class machine still running W98SE to support some ham radio related DOS and Windows apps and ISA slot add-in cards, but that rarely gets turned on these days as bit by bit I'm configuring my Linux install to take over those tasks (running some of those apps in 'dosbox').

Technically I have two - desktop and laptop (details in signature) tri-booting between Fedora, XP and Vista. I also have a Fedora virtual machine installed under VMWare on XP, so that makes it three, and my brother's laptop dual-boots between Vista and Fedora, which makes it four - all running F8

Yes, OS X is a gorgeous OS. But actually, Apple keep moving the 'goal posts' as to what the minimum version of OS X I need to run application x, even certain open-source projects are quoting minimum version of 10.4.x. I've got to the point where as far as throwing money at proprietry solutions is concerned, it's just not in my best interest.

N4WKQ... and 73 to you too Dan... dit dit
Used to be sharp on CW... 25wpm easy... I've lost it though from not using it. Packet is my passion. I keep a couple of packt Rose sites configured with their routing tables for the network here and help out with the FPAC switches some to. I'm also the "tower climber" go to guy locally. 125 footer in my yard, + 11' of mast above that. So I'm guessing your a ham also, judging my your interest.
