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 do you use your Unix? WHY did you vote for that Unix and not for the other? WHAT qualities do you appreciate in your fav unix that you don't on other?
I use my Unix (Mac OSX) to run my laptop, on which I keep grades (AppleWorks), run computations for research when I'm not in the office (Maple 7), keep my digital photos, keep some music, play some games, write letters, email friends & family, ... the whol nine yards.
Why did I vote for it? Because although KDE is starting to make me like Linux, I'm still not quite at home with it, even though I've had this Linux box 2 or 3 years now. I've had the Mac OS X box only half the time, and I was accustomed to it quite quickly.
I guess that answers the third question, too... putting aside the fact that Waterloo still hasn't gotten around to making a Cocoa version of Maple, and hence Maple 7 is godawfully clunky on my iBook; the Mac OSX experience is more polished, and easier to deal with (esp. installing & upgrading) than the Linuxes I've worked with in the past.
BUT I had to think about it; like I say, I'm starting to enjoy Linux thanks to KDE.
