| I'm always using a mix of machines and OSes for my work, but until this week,
| my main "home" machine -- The $0 Laptop (Gateway Solo 1450) -- has been
| mostly used at home for a bit of Web browsing, testing Linux distributions,
| and my daughter's favorite educational games (gCompris, Childsplay, TuxPaint,
| Potato Guy).
