One option, I don't know what your budget is, but Apple's Macintosh OS  
X is basically a flavor of Unix (FreeBSD if I remember right) with a  
nice user interface on it.

You have the ability to dive into the commandline when you need to/ 
want to, but have the comfortable point/click user interface when you  
don't want to worry about it.

Just something else to think about... Oh... And there's no virii for  
the Mac :)
