I'd suggest starting with FreeBSD.  Overall it's my favorite, although
for some purposes I use other unixes.  (My firewall is on a OpenBSD box,
and my laptop runs RedHat.  I may change my laptop to FreeBSD some day,
but it was such a bear getting everything to work on it I kind of hate
to start over. <grin>) My main system runs FreeBSD 4.1.1-Stable 95% of
the time though.

...yes, I'm a MCSE with NT experience.  That's why my operating system
of choice is FreeBSD.
