"This post is about the desktop operating systems that fly under the radar of most people. We are definitely not talking about Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, or even BSD or Solaris. There are much less mainstream options out there for the OS-curious." Though the article doesn't go into much detail about the OSes, it is a good round up of some of the interesting candidates.

openGENERA will run on ALPHA cpus, iirc. And so does OpenVMS. Alphas aren't very scarce, really.

You can play with OpenVMS on the Deathrow cluster @ http://deathrow.vistech.net/
I like VMS a lot. Been wanting to get an old Vax to play with it on
