| Here is my own Linux computer, highly adapted for the work that I do. Our violin shop and book publishing business runs on it, including our publishing library and tools, e-commerce, 19 years of email archives, and several web sites. See: Henry Strobel, Violin Maker & Publisher |

Operating System - I have used the compact, fast
Puppy Linux since 2005, most recently the PreciseNop-5.4.3 version in a "frugal"
installation with grub with an elaborately
customized configuration on the sda1 (only) ext2 hard drive. (No Microsoft Windows)
Applications:
Native Linux - Xfce, Thunar, Cups, Xsane, Evince, Firefox (after
nearly 20 years of Opera),
Thunderbird, Bluefish, Gftp, Gnome-Mplayer, Gimp, Ristretto, mtPaint,
LibreOffice, Avidemux, Optical disc tools, Absvolume, and
numerous utilities.
Wine - Address Book,
Calendar, SyncBack, Porta, and RootsMagic.
