Which OS...

Alright, here's a little question/survey... which OS has given you the LEAST headaches? I don't mean if it's buggy or not, but which one was the least bother for YOU using. It could be buggy as hell, but a lot of people I know like ME for some reason... despite... err... yeah.

Personally, my favorite is Win 95. I kept it as long as I could because partly it was my first graphical OS and partly because I was young and hadn't the faintest idea of how to work anything more complex.

The one which gave me the most headaches must be when I installed Red Hat Linux and having no idea how to use it. I got by with a thin magazine which had included the discs for Red Hat. During the four weeks I used it, I managed to install TWO softwares. I guess I'm just an idiot or something.

In no particular order?  Far and away, MacOS X is the best os i've ever been troubled with.  In fact, I can only think of one case where it's given me trouble: the Finder is unable to browse Samba shares, for some reason, with out hanging.  WinXP SP2 is pretty harmless, as far as getting it set up the way I need, but its a very fussy, clumsy OS for the kinds of work I do.  Things fail, it won't tell you why, and you are forced to install third party software to work around it.  My primary computer, the one I use at home for browsing this here website, is Gentoo Linux, which has given me plenty of headaches, but non-the-less always seems to respond favorably to the 'Get a bigger hammer' approach, (wtf? x doesn't work, remerge nvidia-kernel, still doesn't work, remerge xorg, still no? fuck it, remerge system && remerge world)

The HP-UX we had to use when I was at school sucked.  OMG did that thing ever blow ass.  If faced with having to buy hardware for a commercial Unix, DON'T GET AN HP!
