Star Poll: My Favorite Unix-Based OS
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 31st Jan 2003 00:09 UTC
General Unix 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.

RE: since when is linux unix?

It doesn't matter. Can't you read? "Unix-based/Unix-alike" I wrote.

>why do you outsource the polls?

Easier for me. Also, I want to run polls as parts of stories, and not on the side of OSNews. And that wouldn't be doable with the current osnews engine, because if I write PHP code for a poll and then copy/paste that code into the text entry (that goes as the body of the story), it would render as code and it wouldn't get executed. So, I prefer this javascript solution. Hassle free.
