One (the Windows box) is set up and dedicated for recording/creating
music, the laptop runs Ubuntu Linux and I use it when I want to do stuff
out of the house and the last one (a desktop) also runs Ubuntu Linux and
is my main box, I surf the net from it, do mail, read newsgroups, tweet,
manipulate images etc from it. Occasionally I may have two on
simultaneously running updates or rendering.
ciao,
