Unix is wrong, accept it folks.
Computer Science is here to make things easier, Unix is a strange phenomonon perpetuated, (mostly) by strange insecure people. It has it's uses in programming and such nitty gritty matters but let's be honest, windows is far more likely to get your dad or your lil sister using computers.
That being said, Apples would be better again.

Ok, I'll accept that for home purposes - Linux\Unix is bòllox (at the moment), and Win9x is way easier to learn.

But for server(-ing?) purposes, usability hardly comes into it, it's all about the security and stability.
