That is loaded question which has started many flamewars.

The answer is which OS that gets the job done. I use OpenBSD at the house for firewall/proxy/network monitoring and use FreeBSD for programming and general putting around and Win2K on my primary machine so that I can play games and waste time. My wife and child use Win98 because they get confused by the complexities of Unix.

If you are a MFC programmer, it doesn't make much sense to run Solaris on your box and vice versa.

And yes, it is possible to network Unix and Windows together to share files.

QUIZ(6) 							   Games Manual 							   QUIZ(6)

NAME
quiz - test your knowledge SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/quiz [ -i file ] [ -t ] [ category1 category2 ] DESCRIPTION
Quiz gives associative knowledge tests on various subjects. It asks items chosen from category1 and expects answers from category2. If no categories are specified, quiz gives instructions and lists the available categories. Quiz tells a correct answer whenever you type a bare newline. At the end of input, upon interrupt, or when questions run out, quiz reports a score and terminates. The -t flag specifies `tutorial' mode, where missed questions are repeated later, and material is gradually introduced as you learn. The -i flag causes the named file to be substituted for the default index file. The lines of these files have the syntax: line = category newline | category `:' line category = alternate | category `|' alternate alternate = empty | alternate primary primary = character | `[' category `]' | option option = `{' category `}' The first category on each line of an index file names an information file. The remaining categories specify the order and contents of the data in each line of the information file. Information files have the same syntax. Backslash `' is used as with sh(1) to quote syntacti- cally significant characters or to insert transparent newlines into a line. When either a question or its answer is empty, quiz will refrain from asking it. FILES
/usr/games/quiz.k/* BUGS
The construct `a|ab' doesn't work in an information file. Use `a{b}'. QUIZ(6)
