What about Solaris 10? It's a real UNIX and has real documentation and a nice toolchain for C/C++/Fortran. It is all free as in beer for use as a development box. Licensing terms are annoying and unclear but there are no reports of anybody being skewered for running a Solaris box at home. SPARC hardware is good, cheap, and plentiful. Can't say the same for power or air conditioning though. Get earplugs! -- Please DO NOT COPY ME on mailing list replies. I read the mailing list.
