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.)

Incidentally... TRSDOS is an option, but MSDOS isn't? Blasphemy!

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. Edit: Oh, I ended up being

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.
