So at my fathers work the pc’s had to be replaced. It took a while since he works at a the CWI a semi goverment thing in the Netherlands. However for a soft price I could get 2 pc’s. Compaq’s. 2Ghz, 256mb RAM. So pretty nice desktop pc’s for my sisters. And well since they are almost identical I can build binary packages on each system and use them on the other.

Now I won’t stop compiling all my pacakges but this gives great advantages If I (might come soon) have to handle some homogenous systems. Since well if they are identical in hardware and you want to do the same stuff of them why not reuse the packages that are already build.

Now with those two computers this brings the total number of computers at my folks at 7. I’m secretly building my own server farm to take over the world in case you are wondering.

Now abut those 7 computers:

• Desktop downstairs – Running Windows
• Mothers laptop – Running Windows
• My old laptop – Running Gentoo
• Server – Running Gentoo
• Oldest Sister Computer – Running Gentoo
• Youngest Sister Computer – Running Gentoo
• My testbox – Running Gentoo

Now the two windows boxes are in a Domain controled by samba. It works. However the gentoo boxes connect all much easier. Man i love nfs!

Ofcource I have my current laptop which is also running gentoo. So linux is taking over at least over at my folks. I’m guessing it takes only a couple of months before I can confince my dad to move to linux to That would be a great day….
