I'm using 2 machines, both running 2.2-STABLE as workstations.  My one at
work provides me a place to do my numerical work for my PhD along w/
writing my thesis and articles using LaTeX and the one at home is doing
mostly the same stuff, but I also use it to test ports that I've done etc.
I have NO other operating system, not even DOS anymore.  :-)
