Many thanks to all who answered my question about OS recommendations.  I 
received nearly twenty replies and no flames (amazing!).  I posted the 
question in four groups.  The results were more or less as follows:

1. BSDI with source license given the use.

2. ( and close second ) FreeBSD.

3. NetBSD

4. Linux

Tied for last Solaris on x86 and SCO on anything.
