In my arsenal I have 13 'PC' type machines which are running:
6 machines running CentOS 6 and 7 (64-bit and 32-bit).
3 machectines running Windows 7 (64-bit and 32-bit).
3 tablets running Android 4.
1 machine running eComStation 2.1 (OS/2 Warp 4 Enhanced).
For sentimental reasons I gravitate to my eComStation machine for everyday work. I've installed Xming and Putty on all of my Windows machines to communicate with my Linux machines which are located in my basement.

Reason: machine count was incorrect
Desktop and main laptop run Slackware 14.2 (both Xfce)
Secondary laptop runs Salix 14.2 (again with Xfce)
I usually have another desktop running Windows strictly for Steam but I ended up selling that one to a friend of mine and have yet to replace it. For now I'm very content just revisiting my old NES, SNES and N64 consoles and all of my old games that I found stored away in my Dad's basement when I last visited a few months back

I'm on Linux currently, my steam survey was on Linux if it helps..
My desktop is Linux/OSX my lappy used to be Linux until it committed suicide it's replacement is a Chromebook Pixel which is Linux without GNU so is it Linux? My phone runs on Pure Nexus which is Linux without the GNU so is it Linux? I dunno but none are Apple or MS if that's important
