At home: Giles (Internet gateway/my desktop/main-ish server) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P133, 64meg, 2.5gig + 40gig Debian unstable no X Apache with PHP4, and MySQL intranet and internet webserver Exim4 with exiscan (exim4-daemon-heavy) and clamav SMTP server (win32) file extension blocking and (win32) virus scanning/rejecting Number of RBL lists, depending on destination (specfic localuser, the domain's I'm backup MX for etc) RCPT callout checks (very useful for when being a backup MX with all this forged address (win32) rubbish) MAIL FROM callout checks for certain local users And HELO checks if I ever work out how. Some SPAM reports my IP (I'm on cable so it's static and always on) for the HELO, that I'd like to reject Might put in spamassassin sometime, but I (we) don't actually get that much SPAM. Having your own domain and limitless aliases that can easily be disabled is very useful. Hylafax for sending and receiving faxes Bind for Internet DNS stuff Squid for Web (NOT Internet, there's more to "The Internet" than just HTTP, HTTPS and HTML!) proxying/caching Samba for sharing to the non-Linux machines Jabber IM server apop3d for pop3 access to email for rest of family imapd for IMAP access to email for web interface to email vtun for VPNs to my work, my old work, my dad's work and my sisters flat, sorry Apartment (in Dunedin) sshd for the all important remote access chrony for NTP Pine for my email other than the servers this is about most used program (that and tail for watching log files)
Old (misc server, video capture computer) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P133, 64meg, 850meg, 80gig, Pinnacle DC10+ MJPEG capture card, HP Deskjet, Quickjet PhoneJack lite card, no monitor Debian unstable no X server Samba for sharing to non-Linux machines (disk space and printer) Bind for local DNS mjpegtools for capturing TV programs/other bits and trimming for later compression (glav displaying on Dru usually) saytime for saying the time once an hour :-) (via some DSE USB speakers) new mail audio notification (triggered by a program on giles via Jabber, on aforementioned USB speakers) Bittorrent for my SciFi fix mldonkey for misc stuff now and again (way too resource intensive) chrony for NTP Apache2 with PHP and squirrelmail, coz IMP broke and PHP+IMAP broke apache on giles, for webaccess to emails (I usually just ssh in but that's not the sort of thing you can do at your average Internet Cafe, though I can just use Dawn and my cellphone via bluetooth now) Icecast2 and ices for streaming some old CDs I found to my sister (in vorbis of course) Dru (desktop) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P333, 320meg, 2x 6.5gig, nice G400DH which works quite nicely under Linux with mplayer Dual Boot, Win95 and Debian Unstable Under Win95: Mozilla, Pegasus Mail, WordPerfect Office, PuTTY and cygwin's xfree86 (for displaying glav from old mostly) Under Linux: mplayer for videos (XV, and MGA (with TV-Out) ) transcode for compressing aforementioned videos mostly use dawn for that now though mkisofs, cdrecord and simple scripts (makeimage and writecd :-) ) for making data CDs chrony for NTP not really used that much in Linux now that I've got Dawn Dawn (laptop/notebook) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 800Mhz G4 iBook, 256meg, 40gig, 802.11g (non-linux friendly :-( ) Dual boots MacOS X and Gentoo Under Gentoo: I would use mplayer but lack of XV support makes it kinda pointless (works OK under OS X though) KDE 3.something, not sure why, but it looks nice GNUCash for my accounts transcode for compressing aforementioned videos (to xvid in AVIs) dvdrip for backups of DVDs Konqueror for web browsing (Safari usually in OSX) mencoder for re-compressing MPEG1s k3b for writing misc CDs oh and my sister's computer is called Willow :-). At work my desktop is XP Pro, usually using PuTTY to home and linux server at work, Mozilla for web browser and email (first was outlook then squirrelmail now mozilla. Tried outlook today for some MAPI stuff and it just kept locking up after 30secs or so, go figure.) Also have been using python quite a bit for some data migration stuff (Query from MySQL, read from a DBF, do some transformations and combinations etc and output a CSV), amongst other stuff. Even got python on the linux server talking to MSSQL for doing some RF scanning front end stuff. Linux server is Redhat 8.0 (silly little softhard IDE raid controller with binary only drivers stops me putting a proper distribution on it, at the moment), that's the way it was when I got the job. It is basically just an email/web proxy server, sendmail and squid (newly compiled from source so as to get the username from external_acl) with microtrend antivirus for both email and web. New utility machines, I guess thats what you would call them (not desktops but not really servers either), are Debian Unstable, first use will probably be using sendfile (the program not the system call) to get files to and from the other factory in auckland over the WAN. Can't think of anything else, but there's bound to be stuff I left out.
