What OS/distribution you are using?

[Platyna]

I would like to know what operating system/distribution you are using?
It only applies to Linux/UNIX users. You may post and specify also version,
especially for systems that has major incompabilities between major versions
like FBSD 4.x and 5.x. If you are using multiple ones, vote for this one you use
most offten or you like most. :)


Regards.
