Tired of endless Windows security problems? Intrigued by Linux's power but discouraged by its complexity? Tempted by Mac OS but not thrilled with the hardware cost? If so, you might want to investigate the growing bunch of hobbyist OSes -- Syllable, SkyOS, Haiku, MenuetOS, Visopsys, ReactOS and others. Syllable is perhaps the most promising of them all; it's a maturing open source desktop OS with an evolving kernel & device driver range, and is targeted at the home/small-office user.

All these new hobby os's need X support.
I don't want to hear any arguments !
What a silly thing to say. No one should attempt to provide a replacement to X, and no one should even debate the merits of different systems? Why don't we all go back to UNIX v7 while we're at it?
United we conquer divided we fall.
Someone forgot to CC the Linux distributers, Gnome and KDE developers, BSD developers and DotGNU and Mono developers on that one.
I'd say it's more like "United we end up with something it almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. Divided we have a thriving ecosystem of different designs and implementations, some of which are better than others."
