Guest silverback011 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Scientific workstation here also. For me this mostly involves data structure manipulation, C coding, Fortran, HTML, minimal scripting, document prep (LaTex), also heavy e-mail/networking/web interface use. I am running on a Intel Centrino laptop. All my processor intensive work is done on a dedicated machine, also linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 being a college student my home syste, is used for everythnig and then some. I game (Doom 3, WoW, Guild Wars), I do all my school work (presentations, papers, programming), I watched movies, I listen to music, I develop my webpages (graphics, code) and I run an ssh server so I can have remote access to all my work (get to campus, realize I forgot to upload something, sftp in and get it). And I run gentoo ~x86, so technically I'm always testing stuff ;) (though, ~x86 is extremely stable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYinYeti Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hello Arctic, You forgot one answer: "All of the above, and more." My "nomade" is just a terminal, so usually nothing with it apart from connecting to "sedentaire". My "sedentaire" is where all happens: web development/testing, gaming, enjoying video/music, servers (web, mail...), and so on... And then there's "salon", where I only view DVDs, record TV, and burn the records. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
