OT: UNIX system recommendation
I'd like to recommend a complete BSD UNIX system from the largest supplier of UNIX systems on the planet -- Apple.
Apple moved into first place last month in total systems and is shipping 2700 UNIX systems an hour 24x7.
Apache, Perl (and modPerl), Java development platform (First Class), GNU compliers standard and installed. Run UNIX, Mac, and Windows programs. Free iMovie, iPhoto, iCalendar, iDVD and others. Native versions of Photoshop, MS Office, and several thousand other programs are available. The core operating system is open source.
Apple's open source projects allow developers to customize and enhance key Apple software. Through the open source model, Apple engineers and the open source community collaborate to create better, faster and more reliable products for our users.
Beneath the appealing, easy-to-use interface of Mac OS X is a rock-solid foundation that is engineered for stability, reliability, and performance. This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin. Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.
