I agree about the BSD's. They should not be ignored. There are a lot
of things to recommend about them. (High Security, stability are
among the top ones for me.)

I just like the Linux side of things right now because of the
mindshare and development. There is lots going on. From a sysadmin
point of view, I like BSD. Its very easy to just build a minimal
system and know it will do the job.

Your opinion about 'best' is valid. Damn messy value judgements have
such high potential for trouble.

How about:

A solid free UNIX would be Linux ;)
