Both personal and I'm promoting it with companies who are thinking of 
migrating
to GNU/Linux.

3 at the moment, with a 4th on it's way :-)

1 for server/workstation/testing, 
2 laptop/wifi-gateway
3 file server
4 server , an old IBM which so far refuses to boot SMGL Let's see who'll win 
the
battle ;-)

My laptop is a gateway/firewall/proxy for me and a demonstration platform for
people interested in SMGL or GNU/Linux in general.
So it runs a variety of server/desktop apps.

My workstation is mainly used for daily work and the occasional game.
It also provides services like dhcp/mail/ssh/dns/...

My file server only provides NFS (at the moment...)

And my server is stuck with AIX for time being :-(

> 4. Why did you choose SMGL?

The main reasons are:
GPL, freedom of choice, source based

I like the fact that stable is stable and test is fun. I love challenges
once in a while. :-)

But I also like to tinker a bit with settings and scripts. And what better
distro to do that than with SMGL?

Miss and SMGL in the same sentence?

> 6. Do you work with Linux professionally?

As much as possible! I do freelance work for a couple of companies. And 
whenever
I get the chance I install Linux on those projects. Although I do work a lot
with supporting windows based workstations. :-(
But then again, they do require a lot more support :-)
