OK, so we have some cutting edge hardware and performance which
is going to leave even the best desktop systems in the dust. But,
we need an OS.“One thing is it should not be is Unix. That’s right, it should
NOT be Unix. How many versions of Unix do we need? If you want a
desktop get OS X, if you want a server pretty much any version of
Unix will do. If you want ‘Freedom’ get Linux, or BSD depending on
which flavour of Freedom you like, if you want Security get
OpenBSD. There is a Unix or variant for almost every task, and
that’s before you start looking at Linux distros. Do we really need
another Unix…?”
