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.

PDev is absolutly right!
BSD has all the pros he mentions plus :
*A dev organisation really structured (no crappy anarchy) with a real coordination of what should be done...
*the libc is a pure beauty compare to the glibc
*The fact that it is only one "distro" of freebsd make developement easier : you don t need to figure out if it will work on Mdk 9.1.265626262 or RH 8.0.41815151 wich has the glibc version 2.03201.01505151151218...FreeBSD is FreeBSD
*The ports system is a gem! No dependencies hell etc...
*It is rocks solid
*It is a real performer
*Its configuration methode is really Unixish, that means you can tweak every bit of it by simply (yes i said simply!) editing little conf files in your /etc/
*...
I was a real linux evangelist before switching but i ll never go back, the (power) user experience is so much better!! But that s just a question of taste.
Furthermore I think that the original linux's spirit has gone. Now the linux communauty is composed by a lotta WaRlOrds using linux because this is "Cool and Underground"...huhu...
