What kind of OS do you prefer
Linux
Uh, what do you mean by supported?
Given that VW and Audi and heavily into manufacturing (captain obvious comment of the century) then I'd be very suprised if they don't use Linux at some point.
It's unlikely to be on the average employee's desktop though.
As for contributing actual code to Free Software projects, I have no idea.

i use windows, but im planning to switch over to linux because it is all so fast, and i love the part where its free lol.
I prefer LINUX.
Organizations worldwide are moving towards LINUX now , its not just the cost advantage but also peformance benifits

I like Linux a lot. It works great on my hardware, runs the programs that I need to run and just plain generally works well.
Right now i'm using Windows XP SP2 mainly because its compatible with the programs I need to run.
Prefer.... hmm.. it depends on what i want to do.. if i want go game, code or do some graphic work, i'll tend to stick with windows, but if i'm doing web development, testing stuff on the network i'll be more likely to go with linux, although there are a few games i play on linux cuz i find them to run a tad smoother, such as Toribash and Enemy territory.

Linux is useful in the manufacturing industry? what programs? why?
linux is getting more and more "user friendly".
so why can't use linux?
there is no reason not to when the OS is free of charge.
there are so many free softwares out there for linux too.

Linux Rocks! I currently dual-boot Ubuntu linux with Windows XP (Only because my wife is not comfortable with Linux yet) Pretty much everything that you have to purchase for Windows is available in Linux at no charge, including the OS itself.
I am using Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) yet I have to keep Windows on my hard drive due to lack of drivers for my printer (Lexmark X2350).
But, in fact, I love Mac Os X. I am saving money to buy a MacBook but unfortunately, they are quite expensive here in Poland and I am still going to school so I don't earn any wage...

I'm using Mandriva Linux. It's seems to be the best at supporting the hardware of my laptop. My sound doesn't work on most other Linux distributions. The lack of hardware support is what I don't like about Linux, but it's getting better every day I guess.
Windows. Yes I know it has it's problems and MS are 'bad' people, but know how to use it and its fairly good (XP < Vista 
)
I have tried Linux in the past and had lots of problems, mainly with not having a clue how it worked, and ATI drivers (Ubuntu sort of worked, I should probably try their newest release at some point).
I have just brought an iMAC but due to never having used one before, I don't what I can do with it, how to do things etc. I guess it's just a matter of time, slowly learning little bits.

I use Linux since September last year,
and right now I'm making Linux From Scratch,
I should you recommend this if you already have had a first experience with Linux,
but you want to learn more about how it all works.
It's not at all difficult, ok, everything is done by the command line,
but they have wrote a very good manual, so that you can just read what you have to type.
The good thing about it is that they explain every single thing they do,
so if you've completed it, you know exact how your system works.
Here's the site, in case you're interested: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org
