I guess there isn't too much to write about, so I'll cut to the basics:

My name is Travis Thompson.  I am a CEAS student at Western Michigan 
University and working towards my undergrad in Computer Science.

I enoy using a few different OS's.  My favorite is SuSE Linux (currently 10.3) 
with KDE 3.5.  I also boot Windows XP Pro (heavly moded to make "Decent") 
and Mac OSX 10.5.2 (yes, on my PC).

My current "rig" (built: Sept. 2006):

-AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (~2.42 GHz)
-ASUS A8V-E Delux Motherboard
-2 GB G.Skill DDR 400 RAM
-Western Digital Raptor X 10,000 RPM SATA 1.5 MB/S 150 GB (Windows C:\)
-Seagate 7200.8 7200 RPM SATA 1.5 MB/S 300 GB (Storage NTFS D:\)
-Maxtor 5400 RPM ATA100 10 GB (Linux ext3 /)
-Western Digital 5400 RPM ATA100 10 GB (OSX hfs /)
-XFX 7900 GS 256 MB 256-bit
-Lite-On 18X DVD+-RW DL ATA

(as of March 2008)


I love games.  Unfortunatly DirectX for Linux is not perfected yet and the 
games that *work* are not always playable, thus Windows get the big drive.  
Currently my favorite games include:

-Team Fortress 2 (steam)
-Counter-Strike: Souce (steam)
-AudioSurf (steam)
-Evil Genius
-Portal (steam)
-Half-Life 2 +ep 1/2 (steam)
-Quake 4 (OpenGL under Linux :D)
-Total War games
-Call of Duty Games
