I used all of the BSD's you called netBSD openBSD and freeBSD. I personally like openBSD best altough freeBSD is easier to install because you can just download the 4 iso's and have all you need. OpenBsd requires you to install all thoser manually, unless you buy the cd's.
A pretty nice "other" os I like is MenuetOS (http://www.menuetos.org/) it's a one disk full GUI OS... Not really "big, but surely nice to check out once. It's written entirely in Assambler what it makes very fast.
The longest uptime I had was openBSD who managed to burn the pc forward for almost one year. Then it caught fire, they told me it was lightning. Pretty amazing to is windows 98 who is running for 3 months now and not just doing nothing, I really stretched it to it's limits all the time.

i can believe that easily, iv had pretty good system uptime on windsows 98SE, no lagging no crashing and no problems starting programs, i had aim on for over 40 hours and the only reboot was after i had installed something. Thanks for the feedback by the way guys.
EDIT: does anyone realize besides me openbsd.org runs on solaris? just thought it was odd.

Perhaps they have a nicely setup masquerading firewall..
You could make port-scanners believe you're running your apache 2.x server on win95 :D :)

hehe at my old job there is an OS/2 box that has been up and running with no down time for over 5 years now... called 'em this morning and it's still going strong. And yes, the box gets a lot of traffic to it as it's doing routing for webmail of some sorts.
For the other OS's there is an HP 9000 using HP UNIX 10.0.2 (I think that's the one) that had been running for almost 2 years before I had to hard boot it about 4 weeks ago. We also have an NT 4 box that has been running for a couple of years, I'll go get the actual time up in a few minutes and post it (and no it isn't patched, it isn't my "box" to administer, and it doesn't touch the outside world in any way)
We have a couple of *BSD boxes (both Free and Open) but the up time is only around 3 months on them right now.
