This is my kind of thread. I think that for me it's bordering on a fetish really - as I find myself compelled to use the most obscure, niche operating systems. My list of favs: FreeBSD/NetBSD, Haiku, Minix and RiscOS.
A lot has improved in that OS group since this thread was last touched. I now use Haiku for most of my informal, non-critical web browsing, and it improves steadily. Minix3 has been upgraded by adding Xorg and in addition it uses NetBSD pkgsrc. FreeBSD is still "the rock" for the important stuff...
