If you're looking to an alternative to Linux, then I'm assuming you're looking for a version of Unix that'll install on x86 architecture, right? That'll limit your choices somewhat. I don't really hear much about any versions of Unix that are great for x86. I know Solaris will run on x86, but I don't think it's something you'd want in a production environment. It's more for academic interest, IMO. I think FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Linux are pretty much the best choices for x86 architecture. What you learn to do with Perl on any of those will be applicable to any other version of Unix, since it's pretty portable among the Unixes.

NAME
scmp_sys_resolver - Resolve system calls SYNOPSIS
scmp_sys_resolver [-h] [-a ARCH ] [-t] SYSCALL_NAME | SYSCALL_NUMBER DESCRIPTION
This command resolves both system call names and numbers with respect to the given architecture supplied in the optional ARCH argument. If the architecture is not supplied on the command line then the native architecture is used. If the "-t" argument is specified along with a system call name, then the system call will be translated as necessary for the given architecture. The "-t" argument has no effect if a system call number is specified. In some combinations of architecture and system call, a negative system call number will be displayed. A negative system call number indi- cates that the system call is not defined for the given architecture and is treated in a special manner by libseccomp depending on the operation. -a ARCH The architecture to use for resolving the system call. Valid ARCH values are "x86", "x86_64", "x32", and "arm". -t If neccessary, translate the system call name to the proper system call number, even if the system call name is different, e.g. socket(2) on x86. -h A simple one-line usage display. EXIT STATUS
Returns zero on success, errno values on failure. NOTES
The libseccomp project site, with more information and the source code repository, can be found at http://libseccomp.sf.net. This tool, as well as the libseccomp library, is currently under development, please report any bugs at the project site or directly to the author. AUTHOR
