Sadly, I've got two Windows fanatics for parents:
1 1.4Ghz Athlon, 512 MB PC133 SDRAM, with Gentoo and XP Pro triple boot
<- my machine
1 1.2Ghz Athlon, 512 MB PC133 SDRAM, XP Pro <- my father's machine, I
won't bother with Linux for it because he doesn't want to give up his
games and Internet Explorer, plus he won't let me use it.
1 850Mhz PIII, 384 MB PC100 SDRAM, laptop, with XP Pro <- my mother's
laptop, Linux, sadly, has been nowhere near it, though I have.
1 433Mhz Celeron, 256 MB PC100 SDRAM, Win2k SP2 <- this machine runs
Linux the best of any of them, but it's my mother's machine, not mine,
so I don't have the right to have Linux on it.
1 60Mhz Pentium, 40 MB SIMM, no OS at the moment, has run Debian Woody,
Windows 98, 95, OS2 Warp 3.0, and Win3.11, in right to left
chronological order.
60Mhz never on network, but until our phone lines told us to stop using
them for the HomePNA network, the three desktops were on that, and the
laptop still connects to my machine through 100mbs Ethernet.
