i was using linux desktop, but i fed up with sucking with X11/Xorg, so i
moved to MacOSX first with my iBook back in i don't know 2000something, and i am still a mac user. i use the adobe-enviroment (photoshop, premiere, etc..) a lot.
but in the office i have several commodores, old dos machines, and of course the bbs with os/2... :)

for the servers i am using debian.

regards,
