Um, it always sounds completely nerdy when I say I 'have' three machines. But one's home (Debian/XP dual-boor), the laptop (Debian/XP-dualboot), university (Debian only) and the server I share with my boyfriend (BSD). The dual-boots get booted into Windows every few weeks or so...

I have three machines. One a dual boot XP/Ubuntu 8.10, and a laptop and a desktop both running only Ubuntu 8.10.

As for upgrading, I am planning to, but I've been planning on upgrading to 9.04 since it came out and it's been six months so...yeah.

I have dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. Windows solely for gaming use, which means I don't log into it for months, then it becomes my primary OS for weeks with Ubuntu being used for about 5 minutes an evening (I always log into Ubuntu first to check email before switching to Windows for games).

I must admit I didn't even know the next Ubuntu was just around the corner! I tend to upgrade as soon as the newest version is out of beta, after checking that it's not likely to break anything too badly on upgrade!

I can't connect to the modem through Linux, and all of my work stuff is online-based...so...Mac is my current primary OS. But I have fun in Linux. I tinker. I want to upgrade, but being on dialup, I haven't had much luck upgrading.

I use Arch as my main OS (I refuse to acknowledge any personal connection between myself and the computer I use at work). Arch does a rolling release, but when I did a lot of distro-hopping I preferred clean installs to upgrades.

Linux Mint for the win! Tied pretty closely to Ubuntu release cycles, but not, in fact, Ubuntu. ^.^
