About 6, depending on how loosely you define 'own' and 'PC'.
MrSiggler wrote: 2. What operating systems(s) do you use?
My main box uses Windows XP. I'd like to use Linux more often but there are too many things that tie me down to using a Windows-based system.

My secondary box is an eMac running OSX Panther. OSX is great.

My dad's laptop runs WinXP. It's easiest for him to use.

My sister's box runs WinXP. Also easiest for her to use.

The boxes sitting in my garage are both Win95 boxes that I have no use for.

I guess you could include my Xbox. It just runs XBMC or DVD player most of the time.
MrSiggler wrote: 2a. If linux.. what dist do you use?
When I do use Linux, it's Gentoo. Period. Unless I'm using Knoppix as a boot disk for something... but even then I might use a Gentoo LiveCD.
MrSiggler wrote: 2b. If linux.. what wm/de do you use?
GNOME. KDE is nice, but GNOME is much better IMO. Fluxbox is cool too, but I prefer more functionality.
MrSiggler wrote: 3. What programming languages do you know?
HTML, a little PHP, a little VB, a basic understanding of C, etc. I'm no programmer but I understand programming. I'm currently learning PHP/mySQL.

a Packard Bell, Pentium I 60MHz, 8MB RAM, 400MB HDD, running Win 3.11.
We had the exact same system. Pain in the ass. We had to take it back about fifteen times, because the thing just plain didn't work. After fifteen times trying to convince them that we actually did (mostly) know what we were doing, and we hadn't broken anything, they finally replaced it with another one, with a 500MB hard drive instead.

My parents bought a similar one for me a while later. Stupidly, it was also a Packard Bell. Predictably, it was broken, and we had to take it back repeatedly before they fixed the sodding thing. It actually had an unfinished version of Win95 too, which didn't help matters. That replaced a perfectly good 486/SX 25 with a 50MB HDD, which was my first PC (and cost around 100 pounds, used).
