Windows 98 at home - I'm too lazy/cheap to upgrade. It runs Quicken, Eudora (for
email) and my daughter's games, besides chess stuff. If I didn't need to run
those things, I might be happy with Linux as my primary OS.

I keep both a Windows and Linux version in sync. Currently I use Mandrake, but I
have also used Red Hat. They're both good.

I run OpenBSD on my firewall (for the reasons mentioned in another thread).
Although you can make quite a reasonable firewall with Linux.
