Lunix is the name commonly used for the Unix derivatives : Unix, BSDs, Linux, Tru64 etc. and sometimes Solaris, OSX Its amusing "looney" connotations is derived from the fact that you'd have to be looney to think they are anything approaching adequate, much less "great".
Choosing between them is like choosing which bullet to get shot by.
The bootable CD /.tgz packages works very well for me. One can choose to download only the parts one needs - i.e. no ports or no X You can install via ftp, pxe, cdrom with tgz files on it
OpenBSD is the fastest installing fully bloated OS I've tried.
If you need to run Apache 1.x that comes as standard set up to run chrooted in/var/www which saves a bit of fannying about.
1) Certificates are used for more than https 2) You're confusing the levels of trust. You can now trust that snoopers on the network you are on are not party to your conversations with badashstore.com and that the DNS entry they supplied you with was the one assigned to that certificate.
You then have roughly the same trust level as paying for your meal in a foreign city with your credit card.
If you subsequently trust them by their actions you then have a mechanism to know you are talking to the same entity.

Keeping Hawking alive isn't anything like "evolution has stopped being applied to humans". The premise is laughably naive.

If I recall correctly, the US has plenty of protectionist measures in place. Why do you think your food is full of corn oil [made in the US, subsidised] and not sugar [made outside the US, huge import tax] ?
I think you would find that the citizens would say that the state had overstepped its bounds if there was zero tolerance on every crime on the statute. Police states may be legal but to say "if you respect the law a police state should suit you fine" would be beyond most people's tolerance.

I've been driving for 20 years and in my time :
I've done 100mph in a 30 zone. Driven at 8x legal alcohol. Overtaken in the wrong lane. Fallen asleep at the wheel. Done 140mph on the motorway (70 mph limit). Driven under the influence of drugs. Driven 10 miles to work using peripheral vision only. Taken part in street races.
And I have 0 tickets (except for 2 parking tickets) and NEVER caused an accident.

The OP should have said GNU/Linux for once !

First you've got to prove that laughable security premise.
And then somehow relate it to Ring 0 being different to er, Ring 0
Fully bloated with webserver mail server graphical windowing system etc. etc.
Rather than installing FreeDOS
this bit is particularly nasty
class_sig = toclass.__dict__.keys(); class_sig.sort()
dict_keys = fromdict.keys(); dict_keys.sort()
More bad practice here
if tuple(class_sig) != tuple(dict_keys):
print "Conformability error"
# print "Class signature: " + `class_sig`
# print "Dictionary keys: " + `dict_keys`
print "Not matched in class signature: " + `setdiff(class_sig, common)`
print "Not matched in dictionary keys: " + `setdiff(dict_keys, common)`
sys.exit(1)

The thing is pretty straight forward, ooh wow python keeps everything in dictionaries your code can introspect at runtime, amazing.

When I connect to my mail via SSL on a public network, I want to have a means of 1) verifying the endpoints and 2) encrypting the traffic.
Knowing that you're connected to company.com *is* a big deal because you're about to send your some sensitive info.
Despite what TV tells you, this is not a meritocracy.

I think you should research that statement a bit more to add a corollary to "ever".

An authority that is the will of the people of the European Union.

You don't even have to be running Plan 9. The Plan9 port has venti stuff
for instance backing up non-plan9 file systems

Both Apple's OSX (and all BSDs) and all flavours of GNU/Linux are comparable to a big dog turd, dried out in the sun. OSX has a lolly stick in it.
