And you honestly expected all the people working on their own OS's to
say "Oh, the best would be X OS."??? Everyone is going to think
theirs is best, because they work on it and feel they've made it the
best.
Personally, I feel NetBSD or FreeBSD would do the best job for free.
I have valid reasons for saying so. However, someone from another
camp probably has similar valid reasons for saying theirs is best.
Best for money? I've heard nothing but good comments about BSDI's
BSD/386. I know of several people who have dumped SCO operations to
convert over to BSDI's product. Those are my impressions of the
issue...
