Debian and FreeBSD
Hello,
I'm sitting in front of Debian lenny/sid all day long. I'm using IceWM for my desktop. Althought I'm using Linux as my desktop, I have more than 3 tabs on my terminal opened and logged into at least 3 6.3 systems and few linuxes... so maybe it's 60% linux and 40% fbsd I'm going to give netbsd a try because I've tested it at 1.4 version and fbsd doesn't currently run xen (and I need it!) |
|

Curious, why didn't you vote mdh?
Anyway, I envy your ownership of a NeXT system.. would be fun. |

M$ Linux
NetBSD 4 Darwin 8 ppc (Damn, why not a multichoicde poll). |

I've actually got an old SPARCStation 1+ as well, with a 17mhz Weitek CPU. It still runs, as well, and has an old version of OpenBSD on its 2gig SCSI-2 hard drive. Takes a while to negotiate SSH keys to login. Edit: 4.3BSD protip: you have system binaries like route(1) in /etc. F'real. |

My laptop is my primary use PC (Ubuntu atm because I ran out of time trying to fix a problem and needed it fast without a net connection ... desperate times); my desktop may run Vista x64 Ultimate but a similar thing - I need it for certain apps (Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, for instance), and I use it, mostly, for VirtualBox VMs at the moment and some light gaming with friends if I find any time at all.

Dual boot Mac OS X leopard and OpenBSD 4.4 on an iBook

I used to multiboot Slackware, all the BSDs, and some other stuff but that box died of a heart attack.
My main desktop is Slackware for the foreseeable future although I'm searching for a good 64 bit OS for a second box.

My FreeBSD desktop is becoming my server and remote workstation now. I generally use it for testing and programming via SSH (X forwarding enabled). However, Mac OS X has become my desktop operating system of choice, given that college and better quality artwork have changed which applications I need.

I use my ThinkPad T42 most of the time which runs NetBSD 4.0.1. My desktop dual boots OpenGeu and Windows XP and at work I have to use Vista Enterprise. I would put a BSD on my desktop but they don't seem to like USB only setups (I have no PS/2, LPT, or serial ports ><).

USB mouse or keyboard after the start of the booting process since I think I start using them on one of the computers at work since some moron "accidentally" fucked up my old keyboard and mouse. I just plugged new USB keyboard and mouse and it worked. |

As Oko said, all 3 major BSD's support USB devices.. perhaps not when the system falls into the kernel debugger, but that's simply unavoidable.

XP until I have my hardware sorted out

freeBSD on my old Compaq Evo N600c (256MB RAM). With Xfce4 as a desktop environment, it flies!
I don't feel as comfortable in freeBSD as I did in Ubuntu, but installing xfce was much easier than I thought (pkg_add xfce4 ). But little by little I'm learning. Cheers, idefix |

I've just built a new amd64 system for my desktop workstation, and am now running OpenSolaris 2008.11. A week in, I'm really liking it. Have hit a few stumbling blocks relating to issues with gnu tools on Solaris, but am looking forward to getting stuck into things like Zones, Trusted Extensions and RBAC (amongst others). I particularly like the ideas proposed in Glen Faden's "Safe Browsing" article.

I've voted XP since my job is to develop C++ for smart devices under Visual Studio, so in that platform is where my time is spent most of time. Additionaly, I use FreeBSD and Linux desktops but on my free time, so I voted XP for that reasons.
