Hi !
If you realy want to learn UNIX, I'll recomend you FreeBSD. It is a little bit more difficult (according to some persons) then Linux, but this is only at the first sight.
Now, after I used FreeBSD for almost one year, I find it much easyer and user friendly then any Linux distro.
If you want to take a look on this, go to http://www.freebsd.org/ and you'll find more details.
Anyway, this is just my (humble) opinion.
I hope this helped.
Bye !

P.S.
You can also make an free shell account at arbornet.org to take a look at FreeBSD running as a server.
