Which kind of UNIX do you mean? AIX? HP-UX? Solaris? Those are proprietary and only available when purchased (and for most only with the matching hardware). A free variant of Solaris (Open Solaris) is available through the boards directory.
An alternative route would be to try one of the BSD variants, as they are probably more "unixy" than most Linux distributions.

UNIX is a blueprint for an operating system, not an operating system itself.

The "normal" version Solaris is free to use and can be downloaded also.

Head on over to:

Sun Microsystems

where you need to create a (free) login.

Once you have done that you can download Solaris (Sparc and x86) for free at:

http://http://www.sun.com/download/

Hope this helps,

as already mentioned above, there is NO plain unix. you have to build your own version if you don't want to use something like solaris...
