Since you ask: my workstation runs Gentoo. My old workstation sometimes |
| 8 |
does; at other times it's experimenting with other distributions. |

I have a midget server on the LAN (Atom N270) which runs Gentoo, but it's |
| 11 |
too underpowered to do all the compiling itself, so it NFS-exports its |
| 12 |
packages directory to my workstation, where I have a 32-bit chroot set up as |
| 13 |
an image of the Atom. Emerging is done here, making the packages available |
| 14 |
for installation on the Atom. This is a cumbersome operation though. |

The Atom serves web, time, squid proxy, dns, cups and mysql to the LAN. It |
| 17 |
runs http-replicator and rsyncd to keep a local portage tree for the other |
| 18 |
boxes. I'd like it to serve mail too, but I've never managed to set that up. |

My laptop runs Gentoo, Fedora or WinXP. |
