Surely one of the other BSDs (OpenBSD as 1st choice, NetBSD as second), maybe some of the more "UNIX-like" Linusi (the "too complicated" ones, maybe those relying on source), and of course Solaris and Mac OS X are worth mentioning here. Those systems could be productive and good to maintain if FreeBSD should ever disappear. Personally, I have experiences with OpenBSD, Solaris and IRIX mainly, as well as some smaller Mac OS skills, so those would be my point of orientation. Of course, _what_ to use them for would be determining the choice. But again allow me to express that this is my very individual opinion that doesn't neccessarily apply to others. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
