Are you using any version of Linux on one of your systems at the moment? And if so what Distro of Linux are you using? and on what platform are you running it?
Also what are you using it for? Gaming? Server? Main OS? Or just to mess around with it and see what you can do?
For me, at the moment I have Fedora Core 5 installed on one of my systems, setup to dual boot with Windows XP. I use this for messing around with the OS, to test out some of the Emulators available for Linux, and to try out some of the other software available, and to generally learn about the OS as I use it.
I also had SUSE 10 installed for a while but not at the moment. I quite liked SUSE and it was easier to setup that most other Distros, and comes with a lot of software, as does Fedora.

I had ubuntu on this system for a while, but it wasn't something i'd wish to keep with. I just recently downloaded LinuxMint, and i'll tell you how that goes when i give it a whirl.

I've got a Kubuntu box which I just use for general webbrowsing and occasional wordprocessing.

If and when I get a PS3 I will be very tempted to put Linux on it.

I just tried linuxmint, and its pretty good. it has all the software you could want prepackaged, and XGL libraries installed ready to go. Beryl is awesome, but useless :P.

I like to use Debian on older Macs. It is the only distribution I can ever get to work properly on Old World Macs.
As for x86, I still can't be bothered to sort out my hard drives. Maybe I should just get a new one.

Hi Hipoonios and welcome to the new forum! Hope you like it.
Anyway, I'm not currently using Linux on any of my systems. I actually have only one system here in England as the rest is packed and stored away in Norway. 
The nearest I get is having AROS available for usage, which is a nice piece of OS.

Right now I'm updating Kubuntu Feisty on my rotten PC.

I was thinking of getting a flash drive to put linux on to use with this PC (not my own), but then remembered that it had a winmodem. I know it is possible to get some winmodems to work in linux but as far as i know it's not as easy as a proper modem.
