  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

  38   I spend most of my time in GNU Emacs[7].
