Re:Operating Systems

Thanks for your input, everyone. To recap your responses:

8 recommendations for Linux (2 for RedHat in particular) 2 recommendations for Solaris
2 recommendations against Solaris
1 recommendation for NT
1 recommendation against NT
2 saying NT is OK with qualifications.

Did I miss anyone?
