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.

The only unix I ever used was NeXT on NeXT black hardware. Of course, it was pretty slow on it, but it was so different than anything I had ever used before. I could almost feel the gears and wheels of unix turning under my fingertips. Like a poster above said, it really is/was a great OS. It was also my introduction to the unix command line.
So, using OS X was certainly not difficult for me when it came out. In fact, it has become more compelling as time has gone on. It is compelling in both directions - the Mac OS desktop and the unix underneath (although I don't really think of it as being "underneath" anymore, the more I've learned). There are tremendous possibilities for this OS.
I would like to try FreeBSD. That's my next project. So many unices, so little time :-)
Whoever messed with the poll - you spolied the fun for everyone.
