show us your iron
To follow up on "what are you running" and all the screenshots, I'd like to see pictures of your actual hardware. You all know I am a collector, so I'd like to see the physical machines behind the screenshots.
Here are some of mine:
Left-to-right:
Dellbert: Celeron; running Gentoo testing, Gentoo stable, and sid/busybox. Home of the sub 15M X system.
Hyrax: Core2 Duo; running Tiny, LFS noX, LFS with X, micro LFS (busybox and a kernel).
Eniwetok: Phenom X4; running Arch, CRUX, Gentoo testing, and Void.
Gadget: Atom (basically a netbook on a piece of wood); running a sid netinstall right now.
Top-to-bottom:
Littleboy: Pentium 4; running Wheezy (netinstall), Ubuntu (netinstall), Proof, sid/busybox, #!, Arch, Void, LFS, Coal, and Tiny.
Toybox: Athlon X2; main machine, running a sid netinstall.
Let's see some of yours.

Re: show us your iron
Thanks pids for a showing us your inner sanctum, no joke, I feel honoured.
I will post mines, but it will seem but the childs imitation of the parent.
That, and I'm at work this week.
Stay tuned.

Re: show us your iron
Not much to look at here at home, most of my iron is at work. An iMac (17" model, 2006), and a ThinkPad T61.
Re: show us your iron
nice thread idea pids.
Acer Aspire TimelineX, 4GB Ram, 320GB HD, Dual core Intel Core i3 CPU M 350. Got it for school in 2010. Has done me well since then.

Re: show us your iron
This is a great thread idea. I'll start with the pics from the lab since I'm at work right now. Please excuse the horrible picture quality.
Here's my main "work only" setup. It's a T400 running openSUSE 12.3 sitting on top of a T420 (docked), so that I can use zeroshell to authenticate on the corporate network. This is "darthsideous", a Toshiba Satellite L505 with 6GB of RAM running Sid. ...and the current "testbed" HP Compaq 8000 Elite which is the "fry-able" system (Arch Linux base, set up to drop user directly into program that I'm working on.) Also, a combination espresso machine/coffee pot that my wife got for $2 at an estate sale. This is the most productive piece of machinery that I own. ;)
...more pics from home when I get there.

Re: show us your iron

i think there might be a scratching post in pid's picture. gathering more info on the elusive man.
DJ just photographed his coffee machine and tries to make us believe it runs Arch ;)
see if i can take some pics tonight at home.

Re: show us your iron
Beautiful thread.
I'm at work, but the only PC missing is my media server, I'll post it later. Here I have the followings:
Left: wife's old MacBook (she loves stickers, as you can see), external huge display plugged in for classes
Right: Thinkpad T61, with a nice projector plugged in for other classes
Both used by teachers (including me and missus) here. Both with CrunchBang and LXDE, all in Italian for lazy people. T61 was where I started my Linux From Scratch experiments, but my wife wasn't happy with me playing on it so I moved that partition on my media server.
Then, this is my desk:
Left: ancient Acer Aspire 1304XC, Debian sid and framebuffer
Right: my main laptop, Dell Inspiron 1525, LinuxBBQ Elektra and killX

Re: show us your iron
Ok, now I'm home so:
Not pictured: any of my wife's computers, my kids' emulator box, my daughter's laptop, or my home-media server.
(I can't joke with Pidsley about hording...pot calling the kettle black and all that jazz.)
edit: The mouse hooked up to the t43 cost as much as the whole rest of the system...I perhaps need professional help. O_o
From left to right: t43, old Dell LCD, Acer Aspie A8.

Re: show us your iron
Work machines, both custom builds from a local guy, both with AMD Athlon 2000+ processors. The one on the left has Slackware 14.1 (32-bit), the one on the right has "n00b ki11ah" and "Arrogance" (pictured).

Re: show us your iron

Re: show us your iron
^rls (real life scrot)
nice table.
glass for whiskey (or vodka iirc), and of course Ernie!
and I notice you push you machine far back on the table for room to rest your forearms. I do the same.

Re: show us your iron

Re: show us your iron
This is not a silly question at all. The answer is: I don't even know what that towel is doing there. I swear! That room is also my father-in-law "office", and he usually makes a mess of every single thing he uses. I'll ask him later. :Drhowaldt wrote:^ what did you drop behind your computer case that warrants that towel there? ;)
