Always considered myself a Debian or Redhat guy, but oh well. Praise Bob!
The text is amazingly accurate, though. Great quiz.

I wonder if they have one for microsoft Bob (That probably wouldn't be considered an OS I guess)

I'm just thankfull it didn't give me MacOS. Bitt would have loved it.
I would have loved to get Win2K, especially since I have honestly not heard of this one

I think Bitt will be most sore that Solaris seems to not be represented in this poll. Unless the filename is something I wasn't able to guess.

(I refuse to say what I was, on the basis that my true answer was not given as an option for nearly half the questions.)

I can't believe that they included one commercial Unix (HPUX) but not others. I could have come up with some great stuff for AIX, at least: You claim to have the same set of ideals as those around you, but somehow they're presented in ways that make those familiar with them confused.

Thankfully, nobody has gotten WinME. Or at least nobody has admitted to it

Remember, thats a daemon, and not a demon.
I tend to explain this to newcomers to the Unix world quite a bit at work. "No, it's not an Apache Demon, it's a Daemon...". It's almost as bad as how to properly say Linux.

Just out of interest how should you pronounce Linux?
Is it Li-nucks or Linnucks?
Also, how are you supposed to say daemon?

Also, how are you supposed to say daemon? Most people (myself included) pronounce it the same as ``demon'' (dee-mun). Those who are pretentious or are wishing to distinguish it for some reason often say (day-mun), but that has little, if any, etymological accuracy. Since it's a latin word, if you're looking for another pronunciation, it ought to be pronounced (die-mun) (as in the singular of ``dice'' or what someone does before he becomes dead, not the German article), but I've never heard anyone actually pronounce it this way.

Because I said earlier that I refuse to say, and we've all been around long enough to know that refusal to tell something is often synonymous admission of said something.
