BSD is deffinitly the way to go.
If you wan to learn UNIX don't go with Linux. Although Linux is good. You specifically asked about UNIX. Start off with FreeBSD and continue from there. FreeBSD runs perfectly on an Intel box. I have 2 FreeBSD boxes at home and they run fine. The BSD versions of UNIX are very similar to SUN's Solaris. Also Apple's OSX uses FreeBSD as it's core. Learning this version or UNIX will aliow you to familiarize yourself with a few key areas in IT
here are some site.

www.freebsddiary.org <- Very good for learning FreeBSD
