Linux (pick a flavor since few actually agree) or Solaris 8 x86. You can download either for free if you have a fast connection and a CD burner. Most Linux distributions can be bought on CD with documentation for $30-$150 depending on support options. Solaris can be bought from Sun for $75. I personally prefer Solaris and beleive that it is slightly more "marketable".
