What's your favorite operating system?

Wow, I'm not alone! lol I have used them all too... except Mac. My favorite used to be FreeBSD. I love how they handle the system updates. But the lack of ability to run my business on it killed that for me. I loved to get my hands dirty with it, but now I choose the distribution I do because I don't have time for that anymore. Now I need to get stuff done, and getting under the hood is only going to slow that down. What used to be my hobby and a lot of fun for me, now is a liability. So now I use PCLinuxOS (which is in my opinion easier to use than any of the others, it pretty much "just works"). I use Windows for building the subliminals, uploading to the manufacturer (requires ActiveX), printing CDs and maximum quality photographic prints (QImage) and occasional gaming, and Linux to do everything else (backups, burning duplicating masters, surfing the web, chatting, etc.)

Pretty soon the linux drivers for my Epson R2880 printer are going to surpass those from Windows, and I'll switch printing back over to Linux. Just like I was doing when I has the old R1800.
