Solaris docs were hard to find, Linux docs are always out of date or apply to the wrong distro. Darwin just does a lot of stuff in different ways, such as Netinfo. OpenBSD docs are good, and given that the course was a command-line intro to the traditional Unix environment, OpenBSD's lack of reliance on GUI tools was a major benefit.
