I like to see boot messages which give me info about my pc: cpu -- type, speed, cache; motherboard -- type, cache; busses; cards information (not copyright).
when I want too see what has a computer inside without opening it i boot a linux kernel, and if i have linux on it a 'cat /proc/pci' is sufficient for an average computer. This is one thing you don't see on windblows.
I wouldn't like a UN*X which wouldn't tell me what is he doing.(I don't like fancy GUI's which hide the sistem from the user and then screw up everything).
