I thought they used a cluster of freeBSD computers?

No mentions for BSD?

Oooh, forgot to say

Ehhe, I'm not a unix guru but I'm pretty sure Vash isn't an expert either I don't think the amount of colors has to do with UNIX/Linux, prolly more so with X Servers (I think XFree is available for alot of platforms, be it Linux or some sort of BSD) or something. Also, I don't think there is such a thing as Unix OS, it is more of a standard. You have the *BSD line, the Solaris line etc. There's also no such thing as a unix processor, what you mean is probably just that alot of *nixes only work on 64-bit RISC processors, which is exactly why Torvalds started Linux, not sure on that though :P

Anyways my fav would be Linux if it wouldn't be such a bitch to setup for games. For that reason alone I run Windows (win2k to be exact). I'll switch to Linux as soon as I figure that out.

Yes, color has nothing to do with UNIX or Linix it has to do with the GUI.

I didn't read through all that stuff which version of UNIX are you running? HP UX, AIX, Solaris, etc.

Oh, BeOS > all but its mostly dead now so I vote Windows for everyday home users. Linux is great but not for everyone, yet.
