Your private / pc at home.

[SilverLeaf]

Up until last year, my home PC was a lowly p4 HT @2.4 ghz with 1.5 GB. These components have since migrated to another case and has become my test bench machine.

I then upgraded my home machine to an inexpensive H67/Sandy Bridge setup with 8GB. With very limited internet connectivity available at home, I primarily use it for a fairly complex audio server (applying digital room correction filters and such), as well as the standard office apps, email, file server, etc. I also have an older IBM Thinkpad that serves both personal and business roles.

All these devices run Arch Linux, with either XFCE or LXDE desktops. Of course my office PC and server is Linux as well. Honestly, other than an old Gateway laptop with Windows 8 pre-release still on it, I don't own a machine with a native Windows install. Windows, when needed, only runs in VM's (testing, WSUS offline, D7, etc.)

For me, they're so hopelessly intermingled it's kind of scary... but then, I'm operating a mobile business out of the home.

I have my server, and it's not accessible other than remotely... I have my desktop that does double duty, and then my bench computer that half the time doesn't have an OS in it because I use it mostly for slaving HDD's and booting to Parted Magic or some other diag. CD. I have my netbook that I take on-site with me, and that doubles as my main laptop, and then I have the laptop that I'm using right now that really doesn't have anything work-related on it at all because I'd been letting my kid take it home with him during the week. And then of course Amanda has her laptop that has dropbox w/ all the work stuff on it as well...

I keep my laptop as work free as possible. It's my escape into the craziness that is the internet. I do work things on it, but keep them in dropbox and not on my actual hard drive.
