My computer is a Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad T42. My primary operating system is Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS. Most of my photos are taken with a Canon Digital Rebel XT.

Here are some of the programs that I commonly use:

• GNOME; desktop environment.
• gedit; simple text editor, capable of remote editing when you “connect to server” with nautilus
• filezilla; ftp client
• thunderbird; email program. Has just the right amount of features.
• swiftfox/swiftdove;
• banshee; music management.
• transmission; bittorrent client
• pidgin; instant messenger.
