I would just recommend Linux. :-)
I currently have three PCs and all of them run with Linux (2 Fedoras and 1 Ubuntu) and in a couple of them there is also installed FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
By the way, I am a Unix geek-hacker (and, just to make things very clear, a hacker is NOT a cracker! :-) ) and spent 22 years of my life around the world developing and designing software, mainly, you guess, for Unix systems.

Sorry, I knew the thing was quite "off topic", but the temptation was stronger.... :-)

Gents, don't sweat it. After all this is our hang-out place and what makes it so great, besides the SOTD's are the conversations and friendship. This place is so special because of you all! As always I want to tank everyone for their participation and being part of the SOTD forum.

I'm actually VERY rarely on topic myself, but they let me get away with it. I suspect they just want to find out what ridiculous thoughts I'll come up with next. I can almost hear them all quivering in anticipation; "What's he going to say TODAY?" they ask each other in hushed tones...
