While it's been a year since I've booted anything but OS/2 at home, I
think
that it would be a mistake to write off Linux. The turn around time for
bug
fixes can be much less than for any shrinkwrap operating system, even if
you
don't have the skills and time to fix the bugs yourself. So my answer
for the best operating system is Boot Manager (or LILO) ;-)
