My Boxen


This used to have a list of my computers. At this point, I think it’s just relevant to list that I run the following OSes:

  • Raspbery Pi OS
  • Fedora (usually the latest or within two releases of the latest)
  • Ubuntu LTS (various releases)
  • Debian
  • Windows 10
  • CentOS 7 and 8
  • RHEL

I’m running Linux on everything from full-sized large motherboard computers to laptops to netbooks to Raspberry Pis. Windows runs on my gaming computer.
