I'd have to vote for the Mac OS. I admit that the most recent Mac OS i ran was 7.5.3, but it is by far the best that i have run. I had an old Performa running at 33mhz and 36 mgs of ram. I had to reformat it a few times, but each of them coincided with me using resedit on the system files...
Anyway, my dad got a p3 500 128 with 98se on it, and i spent 36 hours trying to fix a hard drive that didn't love me. Then he got a laptop with XP, and I had to reinstall a preinstalled modem. One of my PCs ran ME for a while, and then 2k. I gave up and installed my beloved 7.5.3 on my p3 1000 364 with the aid of basilisk 2. Lo and behold -- windows emulating a Mac is more stable than windows itself.
I haven't tried Linux or Unix or anything else, but i do have one last comment: My friend runs a server in his basement with Linux with 10s of mhz and ram i can count on my fingers. He only has to reboot it when the power fails. My team webpage is run on some behemoth of a wintel server with gigs of ram, tons of processing power, and it takes 20minutes to sign in. I prefer the dinky Linux box that takes seconds to sign into.
Thats my two cents
Basilisk makes wintel suck less
