OS/2? If you're interested I have IBM's last attempt with OS/2 in the form
of Aurora, the OS/2 Warp Server. I found it quite good and it hardly
crashed plus it had a newer journalling file system which was quite good as
well. As an aside, up in Ontario here you can find OS/2 as the OS for all
the emission testing units at our "Drive Clean Facilities", my guess they
wanted a cheap OS that acted like windows without having to complicate
things with a flavour of Linux. Just my 2 cents.
I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work.
