Does Windows 95 count?
Besides Linux and Mac OSX, I also checked Windows because I still have a Windows 95 box from 1996 that still boots.

I am running RedHat, Solaris 11 and Windows 10
Still loving Solaris - but each of them have things to keep me fiddling well in to retirement.

2) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (on 2 laptops)
1) Ubuntu 15.10 (on 1 laptop)
1) Ubuntu 15.04 (on 1 desktop)

All have their quirks, and are slightly different from their peers.

I run anything that my clients do. Usually, in a virtual machine.

current system
I currently run Ubuntu 14.04. It is dreadfully slow compared to earlier versions.

Desktop runs a Slackware based mixture 95% of the time and Windows10 occasionally (still handy at times). My two LE1700 slates run Windows7 Pro since Windows7 still provides the best inking/handwriting recognition experience I know of.
