OS/2

Not if you have to use the GUI to admin it and reboot to change network addresses. But M$ promised if you code to Win32S it would be portable to OS/2, Win3.1 and Win95/NT and kept changing the DLLs to break it. The only problem in OS/2 was if the Workplace Shell threads blocked and locked up you'd lose the desktop... but all the server services like network kept going. Getting a prompt and login from Telnet was possible on OS/2 when it wasn't standard in NT. The ftp and telnet servers made OS/2 pretty compatible to FreeBSD/Linux/Unix in what it could do on a lan.
