well i have three computers.
my newish desktop has puppy 4.1.1 on it. might try OpenSolaris
my laptop has puppy 4.1.2 barnebones on it, which is being built into corepup.
my old laptop has no os because it's hard drive failed. but i think it can run puppy 4.0, but not anything above that. Might use ecopup on it.
How many Computers do you have and what OS is on each one ?

Let's see,...Santa (aka, my retired electronic tech brother) gave me two more computers for Christmas!!!! 
One of them has (eek!) winXP on it,...and the other has w2k Pro,.....don't know exactly WHAT they are as yet,.....
--1. (I think) Dell 2.8Ghz--512mem--160G hard drive,....
--2. not sure yet,...but looks intresting...
--3. my old clunker,....(Puppy 4.1)
--4. my other old clunker,....(Puppy 4.1)
(so much to play with now,...so little time,....)....

Counting my wife's two businesses, probably 15 of them. One running Windows Server 2003, three running Puppy, a bunch running XP Pro, a bunch running XP Home (sigh). A couple running Win98. And one that now and then boots up in OpenBSD (I want to replace that server...)
Oh, yeah, I have a Zenith Z181 (8088 processor) running MSDOS. Doesn't get much use lately for some reason.

20 pcs... Some of them buyed for 10 euros, some found next to a garbage bin, two buyed for 500 euros, one borrowed...
1) Asus laptop, Pentium IVm 2.4GHz, 256 MB ram, running Puppy USB 3.01 - 4.1.2. No hard disc , I pulled it out, there was a Win XP install in it, I don't need it (thanks to usb flash drives)
2) Asus a7n8x-x, Athlon Xp2000+ 256 MB ram ddr, hd 80 GB, running Win2000 and Puppy 4.1.2 frugal install
3) crappy Pcchips M758lmr, 128 MB ram, P III 866 MHz, I mostly run Puppy USB on it, but it has a 2.1 GB HD with Win98se in it
4) P III 800MHz 256 MB ram, Puppy runs well in it
5) Celeron 500MHz, Intel 440lx, 96 MB ram, Puppy USB 2.16 or Murga-Puppy
6 ) AMD K6-III 400MHz on Acorp 5Ali61, 256 MB ram, 4.2GB HD, win98se (have not tried puppy in it yet)
7) P II 450 MHZ, 128 MB ram, no HD, Puppy 2.16 USB
8) Amd K6-2 333 MHz, 128 MB ram, Asus Tx-97e, no hd, Puppy 2.02 barebones and 2.16
9) IBM 300GL Pentium II 400MHz, 128 MB ram, 6.2 GB Hard disc, win98se, Win XP, Puppy USB 2.16
10) Asus P2Bf, Pentium II 350 MHz, 384 MB ram, Puppy USB 2.16, 3.01
11) Pentium MMX 200MHz, 64MB ram edo on ATrend ATC1000+ mainboard, win98se and puppy USB 2.16 or 2.02 CD barebones
12) IBM 300 GL Pentium 133MHz, 32MB ram, 2.2Gb HD, Win98se, Puppy Onebone frugal install
13) Olidata ECS P5HX-la, Cyrix P166+, 64MB ram edo, Murga-puppy and Puppy 2.16, Dos 7.10.
14 Pentium 166 mmx on California Graphics SunrayII VX, 650MB HD + 2.4GB HD, 64MB ram edo, win98se
15) Intel 486DX4 100MHz, 24MB ram fpm on MITAC ph4500AM mainboard, 650MB HD, Dos 7.10, Linux Blueflops, Win98se
16) IBM 466, intel 486 66MHz, 20MB ram edo, no HD, Iomega Zip 100 on parallel port, dos 7.10 + Linux Blueflops
17) intel Pentium 75MHZ, 16MB ram fpm, no HD, Dos 7.10, Linux Blueflops
18) intel 486 33MHz, 8MB ram, no HD, dos 7.10
19) intel 386 20MHz, 8MB ram on a Hyunday Super-386stc, dos 7.10
20) Toshiba ts3500, 286-12MHz, 1MB ram, HD 40MB, Dos 5.0
Plus other 14 complete mainbords (ram & cpu included) from 20MHz to 900 MHz, ready to be used...
Mainly I use the first 3 pcs, plus the n. 12, 13 and 16. I can surf the web with every pc listed above (those above 200 MHz can do the job with wireless USB dongles or PCI wireless cards). I find Puppy to be the best choice with almost 128MB ram ,or 64MB if installed in HD and a swap partition. From 64 down to 16MB, Win98se (carefully tweaked and trimmed down deleting unused files) is faster and can still say something. Blueflops is a small gem, if I want to search someting on google with a graphical browser, download files on a usb pendrive or dd an image to a floppy I can do it with a 486 66MHz and no hard disc!

23 heaps of junk!!! ranging from a 64bit AMD Semperon Tower with 1gb ram,64mb graphics card, 40gb hd with Ubuntu 8.10 & Puppy 4.1.2 to a 233mhz pentium laptop with Windows Me on it.
The best set up as it is plugged into my LCD tv being a Duron 1.2 ghz fitted with 768mb ram, 27gb + 8gb hard drives, 64mb Nvida graphics card. Multiple boot with Ubuntu 8.10, Puppy Linux 4.1.2, 4.2rc4, Macpup Foxy 2 being my default OS.

I think I currently have around 60 in the stores plus monitors, keyboards, mice. 30 of these are P4-2.8/512mb/40gb ones we collected recently from our local college. We totally ran out of stock over christmas and were having to knit all kinds of wierd things together to fulfill demand. We are constantly being contacted by Schools/Colleges to solve their "waste problem" because they have to abide by the U.K government legislation to only use M$ windows. The other local recycling organisation charges about £10 per computer to collect, and much of what they cant use with Windows (i.e. most of it) gets containered out to third world countries with lower environmental regulations. We collect for free and supply all of our computers locally.
Most of our installs we use our own homebrew Ecopup 0.7.3 software for. We have about 100 clients (wish we kept track!) running ecopup, and about ten running Ubuntu 8.04/810. We dont currently support Ubuntu any more (its too unreliable and time consuming to install) but we will install it if asked. Weve just started to use Puppy Linux 4.2 Beta 3/4 for some of our more adventurous customers as its the first (in our humble commercial opinion) puppy thats usable and attractive enough to be saleable. We also supply training and installation to a local ebay laptop recycler who puts it out on their machines.
The rest are anything from 800mhz/192mb machines (the minimum spec we sell) to some 1.2/256/20gb based boxes. I keep an old Pentium 1 233mmx with 92mb of RAM and a 3.2gb hard disk for demonstration purposes running stock puppy linux 2.15ce.
Were picking up another six 2.4 Celeron/1gb Ram/40gb hard disk machines plus monitors tommorow, along with a 1.5mhz dual processor/Twin 18gb SCSI RAID/1.5gb RAM server thats destined for our latest cybercafe project with Smoothwall 3.0 SP1
For all of the computers in our stock that still have M$ Windows on them, I have a nice CD copy of Daricks Boot n Nuke that just cant wait to pay them a little visit.

Mutiple, mostly p3 & p4 with hdd racks.
My typical setup is Pclinux 2007/2009.1 installed on an os partition, a small linux swap partition, and multiple Pup save2fs on a data partition. Currently, multiple Lighthouse Pups, Pup 4.1, Pup 4.1.1, Pup 4.1.2 Soon to be added Pup 4.2 & Lighthouse 4.1.2b5
I still have some win 98/xp drives also but I don't use them often.

The question is - who is this guy asking such a ridiculous question. At first I thought it had to be an American who thinks a computer is something in a steel or plastic box you buy down at PCWorld. If we can stop this crazy branch of capitalism we will achieve something for the world.
Then there's the question of the purpose of such an enquiry. Not difficult to see that it's something to do with bragging rights that pervades our broken society. The contribution to wisdom that responses elicit is negative.
Furthermore, the question lacks exactitude. How are you counting? Motherboards? Boxes? Working or awaiting repair? Breadboard test stations?
You want my answer? - hundreds.
And he asks about an OS. Does that refer to today? yesterday? this morning? at 09:00hrs GMT.
Apart from caddies on all my boxed-up boards, making the OS mobile, there are scores of portable distros lurking on USB fobs.
And, I have around a hundred HDs with installed OSes ready for instant deployment, a larger number of distros on CD/DVD which may, or may not be used as liveCDs. But any particular combo is a movable feast from minute to minute. Does that make me a hypocritical bragger along with all the others? No! because most of that HW is is either gifted or liberated from junk destined to poison our children. Kit comes through my door broken, it leaves in perfect working order. Abandoning the devil's OS for compact distros breaks the perpetual cycle of inherent obsolescence bringing new hope for the planet.
Perhaps the question we really need answers to is how many boxes have you saved from landfill today and how many copies of Puppy have you distributed to the great unwashed. How many old boxes have you stripped for parts? Come in Ecomoney!
So all you Yankie doodles and their Indian camp followers out their, let's get sum edukashun in world. Recycle HW, stop landfill, build your own, install Linux.
And stop silly topics like this pandering to the go-faster stripes brigade of brainwashed capitalist lemmings. Be different. Switch on brains today.
Then there's the question of the purpose of such an enquiry. Not difficult to see that it's something to do with bragging rights that pervades our broken society. The contribution to wisdom that responses elicit is negative.

You want my answer? - hundreds.
And he asks about an OS. Does that refer to today? yesterday? this morning? at 09:00hrs GMT.
Apart from caddies on all my boxed-up boards, making the OS mobile, there are scores of portable distros lurking on USB fobs.
And, I have around a hundred HDs with installed OSes ready for instant deployment, a larger number of distros on CD/DVD which may, or may not be used as liveCDs. But any particular combo is a movable feast from minute to minute. Does that make me a hypocritical bragger along with all the others? No! because most of that HW is is either gifted or liberated from junk destined to poison our children. Kit comes through my door broken, it leaves in perfect working order.
