How many computers do you have in your house?

[John Kotches]

Lets see.

8 in the media room.
8 in the server room.
3 in the kids rooms.
1 in the work shed.

No need to turn on the heater in winter.

Yeah, my basement office is a bit warmer this winter than last -- that's what happens when you up the machine count dramatically

On a side note, I'm seriously considering going Solid State in all my machines in 2008, and having the big storage protected in a Raid Z setup.

Cheers,

RADIUS ? Umm, who is authenticating to your server ?

RADIUS ? Umm, who is authenticating to your server ?

VPN maybe?

 

[ptuck874]

hum, 1 dell dim 5510 for home use 9 (xp with vista miser), 1 dell optiplex for work (xp pro), 1 emac in my daughters room and a dim laptop the wife uses, plus my ps3 (if you want to count that, with linux installed), adding a standalone server later to put all photo, music, and movies into

RADIUS ? Umm, who is authenticating to your server ?

I use the RADIUS for 802.1x and incoming VPN authentication from my linksys router (modified firmware).

Perhaps doing telecommute for projects under high level NDA ...
Otherwise, it would be overkill for home environment.

3 desktops and 2 laptops here. All Windows XP, but I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini, since I've always wanted a Mac and have an extra monitor, keyboard & mouse just collecting dust.
