elfprince "As long as their needs are met" is so true. I'm equal on keyboards and mouse if if had to guess and a pure unix might be too much keying, although bsd/unix are likely much more stable in an industry setting without doubt (vs linux or win). I work with Solaris/Gnome everyday and I have a whole new respect for it.
From reading a few minutes ago: "The important question is, if BSD Net/2 was the first open-source operating system, then why did GNU/Linux get a chance to shine in the public sight? The reasons for this can be summarized as follows: Legal issues. AT&T’s Source Code Licensing model allowed other companies to build their own UNIX-based operating system under a proprietary brand (including Microsoft Xenix, which was later sold to SCO, and SunOS, which later became the basis for Solaris, IBM, and HP-UX). In the early 1990s, Unix System Laboratories, or USL for short, which was a subsidiary of Bell Labs, merged with another part of the company called UNIX Software Operation to develop and license UNIX. The company later became an independent subsidiary of AT&T."
That Microsoft built a Unix OS back in the day (before abandoning it) blows my mind. Never heard of it.
