Free/Educational Unix for PC??

1) Which versions of unix are available free or for educational purposes for PC. I see that the solaris binaries cannot be used on PC.

2) When I installed Linux RedHat, I had to make a partition in ext3 format. Will I have to do something similar for unix?

BTW, my linux red hat os will not start up. I get errors saying things failed... I wonder why...Smilie

3) What is ment by unix shell? Would that be like Telnet and SSH?
