I run GNOME on the both RedHat i386-based systems, which are configured to
dial an ISP (just in case my broadband connection drops!). The Laptop runs
KDE, as that is what Knoppix runs. The JavaStations are mainly used as
X-terminals.
I am also interested in running Linux on small platforms, including the Psion
Series 3 and 5 machines. See the links on the index page
details.
