The rising star would be Linux. http://www.linux.org/
If you haven't heard of it by this point, however, it's probably not recommended that you attempt to install it. Open source - a great choice for the technologically 'bonded'.
Second in line would be the Mac OS. http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/
May not be a viable option for you, but it's a cult classic. Partially open source.
Other notables include Solaris (Sun Microsystems - http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ , partially open source), FreeBSD (Open source, http://www.freebsd.org/), and OpenBSD (Open source, http://www.openbsd.org/).
