Talking Need help in choosing Unix Platform.
I'm a completely noob to Unix. I have previously managed quite well Windows OS's but never Unix.
-My question is quite simple:
I've been investigating what's the easiest and most complex Unix OS. However, it seems there are quite a couple of OS's from which to choose, like: -Darwin
-FreeBSD
-NetBSD
-OpenBSD

The problem is I don't know where to begin and which Unix OS platform to use. Could someone posibly help me?
I'd be very greatful INDEED!

Everyone will have their own version of *nix they think someone should start with.

Generally the most common Linux's are Redhat (Now Fedora) and mandrake.

Personally I don't like Fedora or mandrake I run SUSE.

For more insight in this run a search HERE as this has been asked several times in the past.
