Well ...

When i wake up in the morning (not because a shell-script startet but
my old alarm clock starts to rattle) i take my laptop (running NetBSD)
(which lulled me to sleep last evening by playing something from Pink
Floyd or Santana) and login to my private server (NetBSD too) to read
my morning-mails.

After this i try to take a shower (im often too late after i read my
mails) dress on and went to the train station. Sitting in the train i
read some more mail (using gprs with my cellular) and chat in IRC.

1,5 hours later or so i finally reach my work and log into my NetBSD
workstation (NetBSD another time - starts to get boring? ;)) and ssh
into our IRIX Mailserver (yea - another flavor of UNIX :)) to read
work-related mails.

Now i start working mainly over ssh sessions on FreeBSD servers but on
some Tru64, IRIX and Solaris powerded machines too. If Cisco IOS counts
add these here.

When i leave work there are some possibilitys:

- I drive home directly. In train i do same as in the morning. at home
  i start tinkering at my home-server, my sparcs and Motorola PowerPc,
  and my Apple Mac all running NetBSD

- I visit some friends. Then i get in touch with OpenBSD, Linux or
  FreeBSD. (screwing around on their machines, small talk about
  computer-related stuff, other things like that)

- I do something else, non computer-related. (rare)

Put together:

   * NetBSD (many)
   * IRIX
   * FreeBSD
   * Solaris
   * Tru64
   * IOS
   -- at friends
   * OpenBSD
   * Linux

So i count 6/8 different Unix-flavors. I try to avoid came in touch
with Windows. Most times i'm successful on these :-)
