Just a note. Having seen Ed C's note recommending BSD I did some research and would suggest Linux.

Why?
- most of the "better networking stack" is dated and the Netflix example is poor because their version is a significant modification to their needs.
- you can see similar mods for "low latency" (vs netflixes needs) by financial firms using Linux.
- plenty of industry players use linux, often with mods to their needs, including google's android
- linux is where the big growth has been on desktop share both personal and larger entities.
- wifi and drivers are a xxx nightmare with BSD (I tried and ended up using wifi tethering on a phone to get connected).

and maybe most importantly
- most of your nixy users use Linux.
