Alternative Operating Systems
How many people here run operating systems other than Windows? If not as your primary desktop, do you run anything else as a router, server, development machine, etc...?

I use redhat linux in at all my lab stations. It's the only OS where good data analysis programs are available (not commercially, but from other lab groups). I find that many profs (at least in health science data collection) prefer using Linux. I thought it was hard to get used to at first (XP on my laptop and desktop), but now I prefer it...simpler, fewer bug, less complicated to accomplish various tasks.
