I do most of my development and day-to-day work on W3K and XP... they've 
been very stable.  Our production systems are Solaris and OS X. 
Difficult choices... but I like knowing Linux and the more I know, the 
more I want to use it.

The wonky machine is running Fedora, which is probably dangerously new.
