Bear with me here this is my first attempt at writing HTML. Got the new O'reilly Book, "HTML The Definitive Guide"
3rd Edition. Hopefully I'll have a much more pleasing page up in about a month. If you don't have Linux go out and
get it now!

My main hobby is taking care of 9 computers running Red Hat Linux, Win2000 or XP. All of them are networked via a Netgear Gigabit 8 port ethernet switch, 16 port Linksys 10/100 baseT switch, Linksys 802.11b/g wirelles 4 port router(cable modem connected to this one), Liksys cable 4 port router, 3 port print server, and an 8 port Linksys 10/100 baseT switch and lastly a Netgear 4 port 802.11b router (this is connected to the DLS line). I have a broadband cable from insightbb.com and broadband DSL from Verizon. System summary:
I have three networks in my house. A 192.168.110.x (all connected to a gigabit backbone), a 192.168.0.x (my wireless network for my three laptops and my kids Win200 box), and finally 192.168.1.x which all goes to my 802.11b netgear router which is connnected to the DSL line.
1) Alienware MJ-12 Dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz desktop, Dual NEC 20" 2080UX black LCD displays. Adaptec Ultra160 SCSI controller with two 10,000 rpm 36GB IBM drives w/8Mbyte buffers, two 120 GB EIDE drives w/8Mbyte buffers, CD-R, DVD-RW drive, 1 GB RDRAM, 128 MB 8X AGP Dual Headed Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL video card. 1000T Gigabit intel ethernet card. I edit digital video (JVC DV camera) with this baby.
2) Compaq presario 600Mhz for the kids (piece of crap)
3) A Dual boot Dell Inspiron 8100. This has two hard drives that I swap out when I want to run Linux (redhat 9) or Windows XP. I hardly ever put in the WinXP hard drive.
4) A self built box made from a Dell dimension XPS case. Installed an ASUS MB, 512 MB of PC2700 memory, 2.4Ghz Intel processor with 22 inch Iiyama flat screen monitor.
Adaptec 2940UW host adapter, Plextor 8/2/20 SCSI CD-RW,
Seagate travan tape drive & internal IDE zip drive. Running RH 9.0. This is my FTP, Apache and MySQL server.
5) A self built system with 2.4Ghz Intel processor sitting on an Asus MB.
Sony flat screen monitor and external zip drive.
Adaptec 2940 SCSI UW host adapter. With 10000rpm IBM SCSI HD and
external zip drive.
6) A self built system with a 2.4Ghz Intel processor sitting on an Asus MB.
Two 120GB Western Digital 7200rpm 8mb cache HDs, 48x CDROM, 3Com Gigabit
ethernet card. This system captures real time digital video from my
security cameras and stores the video on my HD. Just in case someone wants
to screw with my car I can catch them on video.
7) Alienware Area-51m laptop. 3.2 Ghz Processor, 1GB RAM, 16.1" screen, Nvidia
FX5600 w/128MB memory, two 60GB 7200rpm HDs, DVD+RW, Conspiracy Blue. This is
the fastest laptop I have ever owned.
8) Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop(dual boots RED HAT Linux 9.0 and Win2000 only need Windows to run RSLogix 5)
9) A Dell optiplex 200Mhz pentium pro. 18 GB SCSI HD. 32MB RAM running RH 7.2. The kernel has been patched so many times I can't remember what kernel version I'm running right now. This box is mostly for testing new linux stuff on. I do A LOT of experimenting on this box before I do anything to my other boxen. I would rather screw up this box than one of my other ones that have too much hard work in them to risk messing them up.
10) Lexmark Z52 inkjet printer.
HP Laserjet 1200 Laser printer w/64Mb RAM.
These 9 computers are my hobby. Keeping them current with the latest kernel release, configuring with new hardware and backing up system files is a time consuming job. I also read voraciously about networking and Unix like systems in general. I try to stay up on Linux security and try to
hack into my own system using known techniques. This occupies nearly all of my free time.
I am a Linux Zealot. I use windows only when absolutely necessary. Windows 2000 is installed every where at work. Probably because the command line is a scary place for them. "What! Where is the mouse?!" God forbid you actually have to type a command!
Ok that is my Rant. On to other things...
