ITT we brag about our computer(s).

I'll start:

Hardware: x86_64 3500+ AMD Processor, 80, 120, 300, and 500GB HDs, the last two on SATA, 4GiB RAM, ATI X1950XTX graphics card, and two 19 inch monitors. Her name is Emilie.

Set up with 64bit Gentoo Linux, custom 2.6.20-r7 kernel.

Partitions and their encryption:
hda1: 1GiB, kernel & stuff on /boot, ext2.
hda2: 1GiB swap, encrypted with the serpent cipher, 256bit key from /dev/urandom
hda3: 10GiB, same encryption with key from urandom, mounted on /tmp, in ReiserFS and naturally reformatted each reboot.
hda4: The rest, same serpent-encryption with 256bit key and LUKS, it's mounted and chrooted to with a custom made initramfs complete with ascii-art cows displaying how much trouble one is in if one types wrong password two times ^_^. On /, ext3. The password is 40 characters long. The note I used as a password backup the first week is burned, and I was careful not to write it on top of anything that could leave marks.

sda1: 300GB for media and stuff. Same cipher, but the key is from /dev/random, PGP-encrypted with a 70 character long password, and exists only on a USB-drive. In ext3.
sdb1: 500GB, currently not encrypted.

And I'm using the Fluxbox window manager with the theme "FlatBlack" and mostly KDE applications.

The transparent FlatBlack window decorations and transparent aterm makes terminals so pretty <3.

Yes, I use Gentoo. So? I dont see any problem. I embraced my Gentoo distro long ago and I am happy together with my workstation (that is a stage 1 box!). I have a fucking lot of ebuilds in and outside of portage and my CFLAGS are pretty optimized and solid.

But thanks anyway asshole. Go and use your stupid Debian while I EMERGE new ebuilds.
