OSes on my main desktop:

 

Win2k (main at home, secondary at college)

FreeBSD (main at college, secondary at home)

NetBSD (I don't actually work in this one, I use the install as a base for my own Live NetBSD toolkit CD)

 

I may be beta testing Xandros 2.0 soon, too. I also play with a variety of OSes - I have about 20 differen't lesser known OSes in my posession, and that's just the full size ones. Who knows how many floppy based OSes I have :) Also have Contiki, which is pretty kickarse.

 

OSes on my laptop:

Win98

FreeBSD (main)

Minix (my own distro I made for my OS class)

I'm in the process of doing my own unique, never done (to my knowledge) solution to the "beige drive, colored case" problem. And it's non-permanent! Read here if you are interested: http://www.moddin.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1374
