    Windows 2000 was nice. MS could have pretty much stopped there.

      In the server space, both FreeBSD and Linux systems are well-regarded. Linux caught up since that post and receives more support now, obviously, but I wouldn’t flinch when encountering FreeBSD (or other *BSDs for that matter) as a server.

      As for Windows… yeah, just look at the news regarding that…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
