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.

HOW - WHY - WHAT

How I use Mac OSX

C/C++ development and writing on the commandline, Java development with Project Builder, the usual communications stuff, games.

But honestly: does it really matter how a Unix is used?

Why did you vote for OSX and not for the other?

Because it's the one I use 99% of the time *duh*.

While I also have a FreeBSD laptop, I hardly ever use it as there is no need.

What qualities do you appreciate in your fav unix that you don't on other?

OS-X has all the power of Unix, but with only a fraction of the pain. And the GUI is better integrated than everything I've seen in the traditional Unix world (including KDE/Gnome).

And finally it runs on a really well-designed (this includes "pleasant to look at") computer.
