I have one laptop, three desktops (two at my university), one HTPC (with an ION Zotac mobo), and 2 servers, for very different purposes each. The servers are in production. Some years ago I administered the desktop machines in my work: Ten gentoo boxen compiling in parallel with distcc; that was awesome. My most interesting setup by far is the HTPC, I guess: it boots really quickly (thanks to systemd), and it has a lot of little modifications so I don't need to ssh into it to do anything: Everything is done through the remote control. In all my computers (i.e., not the two desktops at uni, since they are not "mine") I use systemd (which thankfully has entered the portage tree), and in my desktop and laptop I use GNOME 3 from the GNOME overlay. It all works basically flawless. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
