my laptop, and both my desktops, run KDE. the underlying operating system
is usually something like opensuse (a linux distro) or pcbsd or desktopbsd
(which are freebsd distros). all i need from the OS is to support KDE well,
patch itself from a vendor mothership often, do suspend/resume and wireless.
the laptop hardware itself is thinkpad, to get a 3-button mouse, full sized
keys, and relative indestructibility. desktops are homebrew intel core-2,
with 15-year-old ibm high-clicky keyboards and 10-year old logitech mice.
the servers are all freebsd, to get /usr/ports (and recently, to get ZFS.)
server hardware tends to be supermicro. starting to abandon 3ware/areca RAID
in favour of either JBOD or multiport SATA-II, with ZFS.
