Well, obviously it would be a Mac!  I use a MacBook Pro running MacOS  
X 10.5.  I run Linux, FreeBSD and Windows XP under Parallels Desktop  
(although VMWare Fusion works well too) and they all run very well.

I get the excellent Mac interface but can work in Linux and FreeBSD  
when I want, and when I absolutely have to have Windows, it's there too.

Best of all worlds.

And to keep it on topic, I run Xastir under both Mac OS X and FreeBSD  
on that machine (I package up Xastir for the FreeBSD ports system).
