that I can see in the first:

Linux davidtdesktop 2.6.19-1.2888.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Jan 6 01:05:49 EST 2007

3x ide disks + dvd drive. usb mounting normal. nvidia fx5600 using 
proprietary driver and nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9746-1 {freshrpms}, that dkms 
  auto recompiled for new kernel during boot {-devel is installed}, and 
nvidia driver boot operates OK.

Apps used: firefox, thunderbird, gnome-terminal, gkrellm, freecell, 
openoffice calc, nautilus, fslint {to detect and delete empty 
directories under /home/* - it found about 20,000}
