Well since past 8 to 10 years I am using GUI based OS of Microsoft. Earlier Solaris was the best. So, I think it should be on top till date.

You say that “Linux will do too,” as if OpenSUSE wasn’t linux. OpenSUSE is one of the many distributions of Linux. You said that you are bored with GUI OS’s. Just about every OS out there has some type of GUI… including OS’s like Solaris. The only ones that don’t are the ones made to fit on a floppy disk. In Linux and most (if not all) variants of unix, the GUIs that you are familiar with (KDE, Gnome, etc) are add-ons to the OS. You do not have to use them. Change the configuration for the default desktop environment to a very minimalistic interface or change whether it even starts X without you telling it to do so. This way you do not have use a GUI without your command. Or, if you started a desktop environment, you can hit Ctl+Alt+F1 (or F2, F3, F4, F5, F6) to get a different command prompt terminals, outside of any GUI. Hit Ctl+Alt+F7 to get back to the GUI. You can do programming on just about any flavor of linux too. You just have to make sure you have the compilers and dev libraries that you want to write your own projects. OpenSuse lets you install them for you. You only have to select to do so. If you don’t want to use Linux, use Solaris.

If you’re just looking to screw around with a UNIX type system, try minix. I purchased a used copy of the text book and walked through some of the source code. It was interesting.
