My take on your questions:
1. There is no such thing as "plain old unix". There are variants on a theme.
And why buy when all the great ones are free. You buy when you want more support than you get from reading man pages and asking question in places like this.
2. I'd suggest you get solaris, open solaris, or CentOS and run it on you pc.
Solaris is more mature. CentOS is probably the best of the Linux types. After all, it's built on Redhat source
I run both types on a variety of systems. I'd would install both on your PC.
3. Keep the stable system stable. If you are doing dev work, then you can expect things to go strange sometimes. So keep the Mac running stable and try out the other systems on your PC.

macptopbm
macptopbm(1) General Commands Manual macptopbm(1) NAME
macptopbm - convert a MacPaint file into a portable bitmap SYNOPSIS
macptopbm [-extraskip N] [macpfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a MacPaint file as input. Produces a portable bitmap as output. OPTIONS
-extraskip This flag is to get around a problem with some methods of transferring files from the Mac world to the Unix world. Most of these methods leave the Mac files alone, but a few of them add the "finderinfo" data onto the front of the Unix file. This means an extra 128 bytes to skip over when reading the file. The symptom to watch for is that the resulting PBM file looks shifted to one side. If you get this, try -extraskip 128, and if that still doesn't look right try another value. All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. SEE ALSO
