im itchin' for a new OS.

Debian if you do Linux, or NetBSD if you're one of thoes types. 😉

If you gotta have Windows, throw XP on a small partition for when you need it, or better yet, just dedicate the whole thing to Linux and use WinXP or Win2k in VMWare. 🙂
 
If you NEED a Windows OS, go for XP. Hardware detection is the greatest on it, I just love being able to plug whatever I want and having it work right out of the box (closer to Plug and play..). For Linux I highly recommend Gentoo, it takes a little more time (OK, a LOT more time in some cases) compiling packages, but then they are optimized for your system. Plus, you want a program you just emerge it!
 
Here's my vote for DOS 5.0

It doesn't have the overhead that DOS 6.0 has and I love the support for desktop themes!

Wait...................nevermind 🙂
 
W2K is probably the first "stable" OS that M$ came out with so my love for that OS is strong. XP is about as good though so I'll say XP and Redhat. So far no problems with RH8.0 on my good ole' lappy. 😀
 
I've tried BeOS 5 (latest max edition) recently - never thought BeOS was (is?) that good,
can't understant why Palm didn't continued perfect project...
 
qnx is what i would recommend, nice gui, small, quick, good shell, pretty good pkg manager, fairly large number of apps. BTW, did i mention it was small?

They are probably taking what they can and adapting it to handhelds. BeOS was possibly the best desktop OS ever. Nothing out there I have seen is as fast or usable for both newbies and "power users" as BeOS was the time I tried it. Unfortunately they have some legal reasons for not releasing the source (which might be part of the palm problem) so that was not an option, and Apple did not continue its purchasing after NeXT... Its a shame, it could have been *the* desktop operating system that could bring Unix-like folks, Mac heads, and Windows people to the same platform.

Other than that, OpenBSD or Mac OS X are the best.
