Best desktop, sure. No arguments here. I'm posting this from an iMac running 10.2.
Best server? Highly debatable. OS X Server is a fine product, one I'd never disparage, but I'm very happy running a FreeBSD HTTP/IMAP/IRC/Loads of other stuff server and an OpenBSD firewall.
I think the reason that there are different BSDs is that there is no "best" for everyone.
There's no need for a unified BSD because the source to all of them is free for use with almost no restrictions, so every flavor of BSD can benefit from the others.

There could be a sort of natural progression there, though.
Maybe our reviewer was building, say, a Javascript-based navigation system for a website and decided to do it in Java to avoid cross-browser issues.
Oh, and the W3C never standardized JavaScript. ECMA did with ECMA-262.
Most ISPs do spam filtering. Earthlink has spam filtering services that need to be turned on, but they also do host-blocking whether you like it or not.
Try sending mail from a dynamic IP to an @earthlink.net address.
It's hard not to be skeptical when you see a rating like that. I would think that a rating so high would be reserved for classics like "Applied Cryptography" and "The Art of Computer Programming". Is this book really of that caliber?
Maybe I'm just a little more stingy with my praise.
I spotted my error almost immediately after posting it, but thought better of pointing it out. I figured that anyone with any sort of self-esteem whatsoever wouldn't see the need to elevate themselves by pointing out my typo.
So what's the problem? Girls won't go out with you? Stuck with a shitty job? So pissed off at the world that your only recourse is to scan slashdot for spelling errors?

As slashdot posters, we're all getting laid so much that we're free to pick and choose.
Designing a working model is probably 90% of the effort.
Now it's just a matter of finding someone who wants to build them.

The "best" is always whatever works best for you.
You're thinking of DeadBSD, which was a short-lived flavor.
Define "best"

Use fetchmail to grab the mail from your work server, then process it with procmail.
Sucks pretty bad that you can't do the filtering server-side, though.
Then you're setting up two sets of filters.
Annoying, to say the least.
What happens if you want to check your email with something like SquirrelMail? No filters, so your spam gets in.
The answer is, as always, Procmail combined with SpamAssassin.
Client-side filtering is for sucks.
Unless your contracts allow "as long as it takes" as a deadline.
Sometimes quick and as proper as possible (but mostly quick) is your only option.
Questioning a superlative, that's a Troll.
All I'm saying is that someone who uses a rating like "AA++" is likely given to exaggeration.
I verify that the Japanese government rescues many of the money of the Linux.

As a psycho killer, I am outraged that you don't think I can enjoy Oregon Trail as much as non-psycho killers, or non-psycho non-killers.
Next you'll be saying we don't like Commander Keen.

I've had an Athalon box running 24/7 for over a year now. No problems at all.
Of course, it's running FreeBSD, so maybe your problems lie, ahem, elsewhere.
But we don't make the laws, we just get our asses handed to us when we break them.
