Describing IRIX as Linux because both are unix is of course an odd viewpoint, but understandable for someone who doesnt have an IT background. Especially when Mac is also given as an option, as OSX and IRIX are much more "both unix" than Linux.

And I would think the real question of value is which distributions are most heavily used, and is there a big community trying to use something else which perhaps we should support. All you guys playing a homemade PDP-11 port speak up now!

Ah, but the poll is from the viewpoint of Oolite, with its main distributed builds of Windows, Linux, and Mac. Yes you can build Oolite from source code, on a variety of other OSes, but that's why there's an Other option.

You are quite free to start another poll in the Linux area for a more detailed look at that area.
