10 | COMPUTERS | |
11 | ||
12 | My librebooted[1] ThinkPad X200 computer is the machine I use the | |
13 | most and where I do most of my computing. I also have the privilege | |
14 | of having access to a fleet of servers through our school's Computer | |
15 | Science Club[2] that I use for some more computationally intensive | |
16 | tasks every now and again. | |

22 | GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION | |
23 | ||
24 | I used a wide variety of distros over the years; but I have | |
25 | since found Trisquel[3] to be my favourite and it's put my | |
26 | ``distro-hopping'' days behind me. Sometimes I pair it up with | |
27 | GNU Guix[4]. For the kernel, I usually use GNU Linux-libre[5] | |
28 | from jxself's APT repository[6]. | |

36 | ACTUAL COMPUTING | |
37 | ||
38 | I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7]. | |
