As a desktop OS, I've tried Yellow Dog Linux, DEC Alpha Tru64 UNIX, and Solaris. (By "desktop" I assume you mean it uses KDE or Gnome or somesuch, and is GUI based with a mouse.)

As a terminal-style OS, I've used Microsoft Xenix. (That was before Xenix was spun off into SCO... and we all know how that story ends.)

I've not used OpenBSD nor FreeBSD. But since I'm a Theo de Raadt fanboy, well OpenBSD is more my bag. On a lark, I have used Darwin for about a week, which owes some lineage to FreeBSD.

All that being said, I also have a warm spot in my heart for Amiga. I am sometimes tempted to get the latest Amiga -- currently A-EON's AmigaOne X5000. But then I open my wallet and see the tumbleweeds blow out of it.
