CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris (last two not linux, but
perhaps relevant to this?)

Gnome, mostly. If I'm using a desktop linux.

Perhaps 5 individual systems run Linux/Unix here. Not counting VMs, but
counting dual boot.

Yes. Kids and wife, Ubuntu.

No. We have windows for me for games, for wife for Dragon Naturally Speaking
for when my wife isn't up to typing much.

Fortunate? Yes, I consider myself a Linux SA. I'm not quite sure what I'd do
if it I couldn't be a SA. Maybe I'd program perl/php.

Does Gentoo count? Other than that, no, not really. I'm too much a fan of
cohesive packaging systems.

8. How experienced are you with Linux?

Perhaps 11-12 years? My first experience installing linux was shortly after
my first experience installing windows 95 - 95 wasn't brand new at that
point, but it was before windows 98. I had a bit of FreeBSD experience
before then (I want to say it was concurrent with windows 3.1(1) ).
