I am a great enthusiast of free and open source OSes, like
* GNU/Linux:
Since it's a Unix clone it's stable. It has great potential but lacks the FreeBSD-style documentation.
* FreeDOS:
It is an MS-DOS clone.
* ReactOS:
It is in development (version 0.312). It mimics Windows in every possible way and is compatible with Windows applications/drivers. But it has better security. Good for those who are average users familiar only with Windows.
* Haiku:
It is a BeOS-like OS. It is in its alpha stage (alpha 3 will be released in a couple of weeks). It's good to play with in a VM.
* OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana:
I haven't used these so I can't say anything about those.
Share your experience / views and please add if you know some other OS(es) which I didn't' mention here. I would love to know about other ones.
Thank you.
