SEED Software is fairly heavily Microsoft orientated. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Linux, indeed I started my career as a *nix developer. In 2000 though I was looking for my next career move and there just weren’t enough opportunities in the *nix world, so I jumped ship and became a Windows developer. Since then Linux has had to take a back seat.
However I recently ordered a new NAS and a Raspberry Pi. This means that I currently have;
- My main workstation (Windows 7)
- A backup workstation (Windows 7)
- A SQL Server (Windows 2008 Server R2)
- A Windows 8 Test Machine
- A Windows 7 Test Machine
- A Windows 7 laptop
But I also have;
- A Linux dev / test machine (running Gentoo)
- An Android smartphone (HTC Wildfire S running Cyanogen)
- A (Linux based) ADSL router
- A backup (Linux based) ADSL router
- A (Linux Based) NAS
- A Raspberry Pi
For the first time since 2000 I have got as many Linux machines as I have Windows, possibly more as there are other pieces of hardware that I have which could also be Linux based – I’m looking suspiciously at my TV for starters…
The downside of all this is that I think I may have just blown any pretence I might have had that I am not a geek. Hom hum, I can live with that!
