> which FREE operating system would you

This made me pause. Are there so many choices of free
OSes out there?
I counted Linux, FreeBSD and
friends(NetBSD/OpenBSD...) and what else?
Plan9?

If you mean batch scheduling system then there
are Torque, SGE and, perhaps, DIET... It's not an overwhelming number of
choices here either.

I think this requirement pretty much eliminates
plan9, though I'm not
an expert.
Seriously though go with Linux and either SGE or Torque, it's not like
there are so many free options
out there.
Happy New
