What an amazing OS! I was really struggling with the decision to leave Microsoft and jump on the Linux bandwagon. My web server is running Ubuntu 9.04, and I set up multiple flavors of Linux as workstations. I really like Linux, but for media, publishing and entertainment it has a long way to go. Applications such as GIMP are really great, but just don't compare to a nice Adobe CS4 Design studio on top of Windows 7.
I am running a Core i7 processor with 12gb RAM so the design studio is definitely more like a server. I have 2 RAID configurations (RAID 0 on boot, RAID 5 for Data) going on the workstation and that allows for something called Fault Tolerance. Basically, if one hard drive fails the others in the RAID would still work for me, and I wouldn't lose any data on the computer.
On the machine, at any given time, I have about 20 applications going. You can see them in the taskbar. At the time of the Screenshot I was using about 6 gb of RAM. The 8 processors are barely working (because all I am really doing is blogging).
