Hi Xiang:
Sure, and it's free too! See Solaris 10/OpenSolaris or their GenUnix
variants and FreeBSD. Of course, you'll need to find a version that has
all of the drivers that you need. So, it's not a slam dunk, but it's
pretty close nowadays.
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp for Solaris 10/OpenSolaris
or http://www.genunix.org/ for GenUnix variants
and http://www.freebsd.org/ for FreeBSD
There are others as well like Darwin, but I think Solaris 10/OpenSolaris
and FreeBSD are probably the most well-known and which you are most
likely to see in action. For commercial software, like Stata, your best
bet is probably Solaris 10.
