Is this based on Home or Work?

You seem to have missed System V Unix

I assumed that the poll related to types of *NIX environment as there are far too many specifics to list in any poll

I was referring to the "popular" *NIX OSīs for home computers.

I can't vote because you don't have Minix in the poll.

Err...seriously? How can you expect to get unbiased votes on a Linux forum? Of course, I'll go Linux, since it's the one I've had the most experience with. I've messed around a little with *BSD and OI/OSOL, but they just seem...odd to me.

I am a Slackware user and Linux is proudly not Unix, so it shouldn't be included in the list.

*nix ... I'd have to say OpenBSD. And AIX as a close second. And in dead last I'd say Solaris.

I'm a Linux user who's dabbled in other *nixes-- a few BSD's and OpenIndiana. I could be wrong, but it seems like the other *nixes are behind. They have their niches, but Linux seems more feature rich and mature.

Linux, because of good hardware support.
