Respectively : One on Nvidia (GeForce - one of the PCIxpress/AGP models, one on ATI Radeon mobility 9600) One desktop, one laptop. One on pentium 4, one on Centrino (don't know the frequency). Both on motherboards forged by Neanderthals. Both on deluxe displays. Both on 500MB Ram. HD's are probably Sata, 60GB vs 100GB. Sound cards are cheap. Connectivity is excellent, usb2 and plenty of internal/external adapters, mostly broadcom, and a wireless buffalo card (G54 I think) and a wireless d-link usb device, some realtek probably, and a dreaded wireless intel R Pro. What did I forget? The dvd drives of course! One floppy, two dvds, one rewritable, one read only. In no particular order. I'll give ubuntu a shot, I actually am a developer and accustomed to gcc under cygwin or mingw, I understand POSIX compliance in theory, what I don't understand is the impact... but my guess is that is has an impact when developping portable device drivers or other software that requires low level operations, or when desigining a file system.
