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.

>>> FreeBSD beats any distro of Linux.
Horses for courses, as they say in English (this means different tools for different tasks). FreeBSD was the best option for Yahoo, e.g. For some other, maybe Linux is a match for FreeBSD, who knows?
>> Linux is a poor clone of UNIX.
Linux evolves faster than any other OS (ok, some smaller ones we see here beat Linux at that). If you use the word "is" to describe Linux, you'll get obsolete in a month.
Linux is unifying several Unix variations. Linux may not be Unix, but Unix is becoming Linux.
>> Linux is a hacked together mess.
More exactly, a dynamically reorganizing hacked together mess. In these times, where everyone confuses terminology and hacker == cracker, people developing Linux are the highest kind of hacker, in the original, productive and good sense.
I'm just a user, but nonetheless very happy with the other guys work -- it's way too cool.
And, unlike *BSD, M$ won't copy it (notice the $).
Yay!
