Gentoo at home as my only OS since 2003. Previously I used DOS in the
80's and OS/2 in the 90's, with a little Slackware dual-booting as my
first taste of Linux in the olden-days. I use it at home for
web/email/programming/gaming/photo and video editing/media server/etc.

Gentoo on my laptop since 2004. My first amd64 install, and my first
(and last) experience with ati-drivers. :)

A few months ago I set up a virtual Gentoo server (at vr.org) which
hosts my DNS server, email, http server, etc. So far that has been
working great and I'm learning a lot. I'm going to migrate my domains
to it from other hosting providers. I must establish a proper backup
routine before I do that, though.
