Trigger's laptop
I have had the "same" computer since 2003. It started off life as a desktop running WinXP and then spontaneously transmogrified its OS into Gentoo Linux. I've been running it ever since, through several hardware refreshes, including turning into a laptop about 2005. Each time I imaged the old to the new and around 2009ish converted it from ~x86 to ~amd64 (32 bit to 64 bit). It's now a Core i7 with 16GB RAM and a SSD. It does boot rather quicker than when it was younger, with a pair of IDE discs.
The make.conf still has the original creation date stamp and I have all the kernel configs. Also /home/<me> is still the same and /boot is still ext2.
