I use Linux a little more occasionally than most of you.

At work:
Celeron 500 running 98SE.

At home:
PII-350, 320MB RAM (don't laugh!)
Dual boot XP and Lycoris (very soon to be MDK10 RC1)

My wife doesn't like linux, or it'd get used more at home.  She especially
doesn't like "that horrible clock" (KDE's standard), but even when I change
it it still sucks.  Even skinned to look like XP, it's still ugly.  Fair
enough.

My big holdbacks at work are Photoshop and Freehand.  PS looks to be
running(ish) under the latest WINE, but FH is still not quite there.  Oh,
and that it's a pain in the ass to Multihead with XFree (I'm a
Commandlineophobic).

But here's my favourite use for Linux presently.  I use Linux mostly to
rescue crashed PC's.  I've brought back several notebooks, (and a few of
them were really quite shot) using Tom's RootBoot, and Knoppix.
