UNIX
freeBSD
Mac OS X
DOS (several flavors)
Novell

that's all the common ones I can think of (aside from the many flavors of M$ Windows and Linux) at the moment :shrug:

BeOS can still be found, but I don't think it is being supported much anymore. :(

I wouldn't consider stuff like SymbianOS, PalmOS, or WindowsCE a normal operating system, in the sense that you can't really put them on a desktop or a laptop and use them as your main operating system.

Another operating system: IBM's OS/2 Warp

Who said anything about desktop OSes? Novell is definitely not a desktop OS, but it's still here. :)

Lindows is just Linux with "eye-candy" and a few tweaks mate :)

As far I know there is NO Mac OS running on x86 it's always been on Motorola or IBM PPC chips.

Some time in the 90's there was a rumor and a friend of a friend of a former-roomate..etc... said that he had a copy of OS 7 that ran on 486.

Well, if I'm wrong please correct be, but I'm and 99.9999- % sure I'm right.

Apple/Mac user from the 80's here. :)
