The poll requires that a voter log in first.
I hate being required to be a registered ntcompatible user and logging in every time I want to post something but I am more likely to put up with that hassle for posting something than taking polls.

Ahh, yes Open BSD. I probably shouldve grouped Linux/Unix/OpenBSD together, but I didnt think about it. There's other OS's I couldve put, like O/S2/Warp or DOS, but didnt think those were as big, especially OS 2.

Hmm, you seem to be alone on the mac, zirik.
I was rather shocked at the support for BeOS, didnt know it had that much support. I was expecting like one vote for it.
This has definitely been an interesting poll so far.

OMG! Who vote for BeOS is the best! Screw Windows! 8)

I vote for Linux is good, but I still prefer Windows wink

i feel that this is a pretty stable config

win2k pro = workstation
database server = solaris
firewall or sites that need to be secure = openbsd
servers where speed is more of an issue than security (ie webservers and so on)= freebsd
internal mail, dns, fileserver, pdc = linux (debian prefered)
