harvey (the desktop) has suse 9.1 and windows ME on - windows is still on there because of university software requirements and a windows only scanner we inherited, whose linux driver is nonexistent yet due to crap manufacturer support.
claudia (the laptop) has been out of commision for weeks with no apparent reason, but i think has windows 98se (which is OK as it is deliberately configured to vehemently never use the network) and i think red hat 9 (since fedora simply does not work on a compaq m300 as far as i can manage) or it might be xandros 2.0 actually, not sure. windows 98 is a little better than ME and is fine for running sound forge 5.0, which i paid for, and which is great and has not been touched by any linux program that i know of yet.
i *would* have a ton of other OSs but with 14G on harvey and 11G on claudia it's not about to happen. i do want a debian, a freeBSD, a slackware and would you believe a windows 3.11 (with a whole slew of newer software on it, like from FreeDOS et cetera), and a couple of partitions free to try out some other distributions, like linux from scratch and gentoo.
