Mac OS X 10.4.5

Your options are a bit limited... You probably should have included:
Mac OS X
Mac Classic
Linux (perhaps even variants, i.e. RedHat, Ubuntu, Suse, &c.)
BSD
Windows ME, NT, &c.

That just about sums up what I use.

Who want to run BSD? Just wipe your HD and jump off a bridge.

OSX is a form of BSD. . .

Ubuntu Dapper Drake (Linux)

On a side note: anyone here heard of compiz? *droooools* It's basically OpenGL extensions for the X window system. Which means beautiful eye candy without the MacOS price

Indeed, and I suppose I could have said "BSD (Mac OS X, OpenBSD, NetBSD, &c.)", but I think that most people see a difference between BSD and Mac OS X, even if it is only cosmetic.

As to why one would want to run BSD, I don't know, but some people do. Perhaps I should also have included BeOS?

I was actually just responding to Gravitron question as to why anyone would run BSD.

Primarily XP, but I can dual-boot (make that "Reboot-n-switch") to 98SE for my older games.

I also have live Knoppix (Linux) on DVD. I'd like to put that, or a similar Linux distro, on my hard drive and see if I can run XP/98 on a virtual machine(s).

Could be that I'm confusing, but there was that thing that crashed one of my machines when I tried it.
I thought it was BSD, I dunno..

It could have been. If you don't set it up right it can screw things up (like any other OS really). Drivers are especially problematic on BSD (since it is not commonly installed on non-server machines, save in its OSX form).

Ubuntu linux (Breezy badger), Win XP when I have to.

SUSE Linux 10.0 (Hey I work for Novell, might as well use it) and Win XP when needed, ie gaming currently till I get wine working fully.

Oh?
Neat. We've been using Novell's networking ever since I can remember networks being used.
