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.

2 years ago, I was completely Windows dependant. I hated it, but I was to scared to try anything else. But I 'took the plunge' at the start of 2002, by starting out with Slackware. Sure, its 'different', but as long as you have patience, and rtfm, you'll be fine. Right now, I'm completely windows free. I don't use it anymore. period. All my hardware works with linux, and they work well.
I installed gentoo at the start of the month, just to try something new. And wow, I love it! The portage system is really cool. I've only had 1 or 2 apps that refuse to install, but after asking around I got them working.
I'm from a minimalist desktop background, and I've always despised GNOME and KDE. But I decided to give both a spin, Gnome 2 is really nice, and I've used it for 2 months. But it lacks that 'complete' feeling. I hope it will feel more polished by 2.2. KDE 3.1 otoh is amazing. I love it. It just 'feels' nice. Unfortunately it uses up a lot of ram, but thats to be expected I guess
Sorry for the long post.
