Slashdot Asks: What's Your Computer Set-Up Look Like?
I thought it'd be fun to ask Slashdot readers one of the same questions we asked Larry Wall: What's your computer set-up look like? Slashdot reader LichtSpektren had asked:
Can you give us a glimpse into what your main work computer looks like? What's the hardware and OS, your preferred editor and browser, and any crucial software you want to give a shout-out to?
Larry Wall is running Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition), and he surfs the web with Firefox (and Chrome on his phone) -- "but I'm not a browser wonk. Maybe I'll have more opinions on that after our JS backend is done for Perl 6..." And for a text editor, he's currently ensconced in the vi/vim camp, though "I've used lots of them, so I have no strong religious feelings."
So leave your answers in the comments. What's your OS, hardware, preferred editor, browser, "and any crucial software you want to give a shout-out to?" What does your computer set-up look like?

I haven't seen a teenage dick-measuring contest on Slashdot in a while...
I'm whistling 300 BAUD into the mouthpiece of my landline telephone you insensitive cloh'/fIFYNUOb;/9' NO CARRIER
Well, sure, the hackers have them - but it's not like I can go and ask *them* for my password every time I want to log in somewhere.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Ah, good, I think it's about time to have a meaningless pissing contest. My work setup is three Dell UP2715K monitors in portrait orientation, giving a total screen resolution of 8640x5120, or 44 megapixels. If anyone can beat that, I will take you on in a stage-2 match of who has the lowest Slashdot user id.
