Introduction and Overview

For my desktop PCs, I am currently using two computers built from components, running

• Red Hat Linux (Fedora Core 6), and
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional

The details of these software set-ups are outlined below, and the specific hardware is described in later sections.

The two computers share a single monitor and keyboard using a Belkin OmniView which I bought from CDW. This is a great device, and well worth the $100 or so it cost.
