Fedora core 3, gentoo (real pain that one as it didn't compile my disk 
controller in so it wouldn't boot first time), and ubuntu (but that hasn't 
finished yet and doesn't work on vpc),

None here (unless you count my nas drives, router and mail server) as my 
linux notebook got dropped and the new one is vista (insurance company 
doesn't do linux) and I haven't got around to repartitioning it yet.
