1/2/6/3 (I think - not totally sure about that last one, but it seems somewhat irrelevant anyway)

1. 2 - Dual boot with Linux (x2), Windows. One Linux system is for experimenting on (and is currently broken). The Windows system is there for the occasional game, and for testing that stuff (usually software, sometimes websites, documents, or whatever) works on Windows. Back in the day, it was also used for assignments that required the use of some Windows-only software.

3. 6 - It just like the thing more than Windows. The fact that I can muck around with it, get into the system, and learn about how absolutely everything works is also pretty good.

4. 8 (Ubuntu), 1 (Debian)

5. 4 - All of the above

6. 1. Except when it breaks for no apparent reason, which it does occasionally.
