Well,
server runs FreeBSD (UNIX)
PIII 866 Win98
Latest purchase P4 1.6gig WinXP
I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks & Flash 5. I do use Paintshop
occassionally, can't justify buying Photoshop, for what I would
use it for.
Still revert back to notepad when I want to make changes
on the fly.
Just started getting into PHP and I luv it
Cheers

My setup
Mac OSX introduced me to PHP, it came pre-installed on the client version all you have to do is uncomment 2 lines from the httpd.conf file to get it running.
MySQL was a simple GUI installer too. It really was a no-brainer to get going. I have all my usual tools, like dreamweaver, fireworks, flash, photoshop etc all to hand on the same machine which is running a a development webserver. I have the same setup on my laptop so there is nothing I can't do on the road that I usually get done at work.
New PHP binaries come courtesy of Entropy.ch.
Now every project no matter how small that comes up I can think of a way of making it zero maintenance using PHP, so we can spend less time doing repetitive work in HTML but still charge for the time. It's a godsend.
On top of all that I can run GIMP under X11 and a PC environment for browser compatibility checking and I haven't rebooted for months.
Never mind both worlds, I got em all.
