Whew. I can't wait for the Microsoft shills to show up (I won't name any names, but his initials are GOLDEN EAGLE). Then this thread will really take on a life of its own.

;)

FYI: I'd have to say that Slackware Linux works the best overall. And I've worked with Solaris 1.1 through 9 (SPARC and Intel editions after 2.6), the *BSD distros, and everything from Debian through Red Hat.

Of course, I'm preferential to the hardened OS's such as Immunix, Bastille Linux and OpenBSD. Trusted Solaris was hard to warm up to, though...

My team administers 812 different sites, and we are standardizing around AIX 5L on all of our database and file servers, and SuSE Linux on our internet interfaces. I have around 70 sites still stuck with Unisys boxes running Open Unix 8, but not for too much longer, thank goodness.

Some years back the Novell salesmen were in my boss' office and we were discussing Netware performance. They showed us some impressive statistics on how many Netware clients the new server we were going to get could support. After grilling them on the hot seat for a while it came out in discussion that the server software was not Netware 4 but UnixWare. *cough*
