Mac or Linux is fine by me: the FreeBDS kernel (underlies OS X) and Minux (a crippled version of Unix for Intel chips created as a basis for student exercises, and fleshed out by Linus Torvalds to create Linux) were both produced by category theorists, so I've got a guild-loyalty to both.

Just about any unix works for me, as it suits the way I work better than anything else I've found. I just wish we could do better than X though.

Minux (a crippled version of Unix for Intel chips created as a basis for student exercises, and fleshed out by Linus Torvalds to create Linux) 1. Minux is pretty good now, highly robust with a small footprint. 2. Linus didn't flesh it out to make Linux. Minux was his platform used to create Linux, and Linux used some ideas from Minix.
