Well, we all have used Unix, in one form or another (maybe even through embeded products). But which one is your favorite flavor of Unix-based/Unix-alike OSes? Read more and vote! Update: SHAME on you, who ever you are: Messing/hacking with go2poll's code and altering the results in favor of FreeBSD. By doing so, you are doing MORE BAD than good to your favorite platform.

I meant to say
I bet it would come out the clear winner at hiding the unix details from the user.
P
It hides it no deeper than some Linux distros do, so should we seperate the Linux's into distro's into this new poll as well? You don't want to bombard your normal ease of use Mac people with Unix information and stuff they'd probably call "garbage" or "useless". I'm not arguing here I'm just trying to understand what point your trying to make, should Unix-based mean console based, steep learning curve?
I like Unix based OS's to tell you the truth I was going to switch to the PC platform until OS X was released, OS X through the terminal is a lot different then the Aqua interface, and it's even more customizeable through the Terminal then through your preference apps, having Apache and other web services available as well as Samba makes OS X more Unix based to your standard then some of the other choices like QNX.
