I prefer the taste of BSD.

With OS X wrapped around it, of course. :)

Although these days I’ve noticed the popular definition of “UNIX flavor” has widened dramatically to include anything “UNIX-like.”

During the 80s as an MTS in Bell Labs
I noted many posters on walls of cubicles:

4.3 > V

during those days I was an Emacs bigot.

It was far superior to vi.

My supervisor, a DMTS insisted on using ed.

Which is why when someone showed me
BSD running on a rs6000 chip with the slickest GUI,
I bought a 17"Al Powerbook(1 Ghz) in 2003.

I still use it for Keynote presentations.
