   I don't know how alternative it really is, but I've been running OpenBSD   
   on my laptop for a good few months now. The best part is just how good   
   it is. Literally everything, even my Expresscard Smart Card readers just   
   works out of the box. It also has some really nice quality of life   
   features for server use. My favourite is the Daily(8) system. Basically,   
   every day, a cronjob will mail root with all of the changes to the   
   system that happended that day, as well as any security issues (eg, bad   
   permissions for system config files). Goes to show how good dogfooded   
   software can be.   
      
   On the more alternative side, someday soon(tm) I wanna setup a 9front   
   cluster. Maybe on the next release...
