A free Unix based on the BSD(I) code. In my experience with it, it is a lot more straight forward about things, and faster than Linux. It currently supports x86 only, although other ports are planned. Full source is provided under either the Berkley license of the Gnu GPL (depending on the program in question).

CNET included FreeBSD in it's recent article on alternative OSes: http://www.cnet.com/Content/Reviews/Compare/AltOS/ss02.html
