enigma:
Which one do you favor? Do note if you choose windows, i will, infact have to eat your soul and face. I like linux, its free, its open source, and gee golly, it makes me laugh! that penguin is awsome. I dont use unix too much though, or mac os, and i think the problem is i use windows too much. Just gettin a feel on what everyones OS of expertise is..

Doctor V:
Thats right, if you use windows at all, then you use it too much.  I'd be lying if I said I was completely free of windows though.  The one last thing holding me back is that once per month I have to fill out a certain excel form that will not work properly in open office.  Every other spreadsheet I have used has, but this one still holds me down.  I use Mandrake Linux, but am messing around with RedHat as well.

Calum:
i haven't used solaris or unix, and why are none of the BSDs or GNU in the list? seems less people will have used unix than any BSD or GNU...

I like mandrake but i hope to one day have a hard drive big enough to boot many different systems, hopefully including FreeDOS, Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Windows 3.1 for workgroups(!) and BeOS. I'd like a RiscOS machine too, but when will i ever be able to afford one?

i've only ever used red hat (7), windows(3.1 and later), mandrake (8 & 9) and turbolinux (6.1), MacOS (6 to 9) though, so i can't judge really from lack of experience.

KernelPanic:
Solaris is Unix

Calum:
no it isn't.
solaris is commercial. unix was never commercially released. Solaris is actually based on SunOS (how surprising!)
