| Hardware Types | |||
| What I've worked with for most of my life | PC's | ||
| At elementary school, we may have had Apple II's (don't remember that well). Used them rarely until this semester when I began using the G5's for Graphic Design. | Macintosh | ||
| Never used them much, I know they have a battery, can get hot, and run mostly the same as Desktop PCs | Laptops | ||
| Never used one | Tablet PCs | ||
| I know to Defragment them. I've set Master and Slave jumpers and partitioned one when I was messing with dual-boot linux, but I've never set up a RAID. | Hard Drives | ||
| I can put the cable on the back and screw them in, but if they fail, I can only try another driver or update the firmware (if available). I know that DVD drives and ASPI drivers are somehow related. | CD/DVD Drives | ||
| put it in the slot (generally PCI nowadays), install the drivers, configure it. | Sound Cards | ||
| Put it in the slot (I use AGP, but PCI-express is the new standard), install drivers, and configure it. | Video Cards | ||

| Operating Systems | |||
| I have no experience with it. | Windows Vista | ||
| I use it when I have to. I had used Hardware Profiles for different service configurations. That way, you can test out whether a service is required or not, and you can disable it, speeding up the system. I'm not afraid to edit the registry if I have clear instructions and a backup of the registry. | Windows XP | ||

| Never have run a server | Windows Server 2003 | ||

| Never have run a server | Mac OS Server 10.2 | ||
| My operating system of choice. I compile and install programs. I've recompiled the kernel after customizing it to my needs. I can use data-redirection through BASH. I've learned that you should always look for instructions tucked away in text files. I think that more homes and businesses should switch to Linux. | Linux | ||
| Other | |||
| I've used Nero to burn audio and data CDs, generally it works best to make an image and burn DAO I now can also use cdrecord from the command line. |
CD Burning | ||

| On my own time, I've discovered the tools that are available for creating DVDs in Linux. I'm still quite slow at doing it, but I can create menus and convert almost any video to the NTSC MPEG-2 DVD format.- | DVD Production | ||
| If the Internet doesn't work, I reset my router, have dealt with Ports and have used the DMZ. I've learned to change between static and dynamic IP address assignment in order to alternatively connect through a router or connect two computers via a crossover cable. |
Network Configuration | ||
| I used AntiVir when I used Windows. Since moving to Linux, I haven't had to install any security-related software. | Security Configuration | ||
| I've seen a wireless router installed, but I haven't done it. | Wireless Technology | ||
