i know places where you can get unix
you have asked for unix there a very little(or none) free treu-unix distributions but bsd and linux looks extremly much at unix. freebsd (is a bsd version the most user friendly version they sayed at in the book but it still isn't user friendly ) is a unix clone (less or more, it has unix code in it). and linux had been build from a scratch with the same free standards where unix is made from ( i completly forgot which three). but the biggest different between unix computers is the kernel. All the other commando's are more or less the same. But if you start with unix, start with linux that are the easiest to understand distrobutions. I it is you first "unix" computer try suse linux or redhat linux those are the most easy to install.
www.suse.com for suse linux homepage you can find a place where you can download suse there
www.redhat.com for the redhat homepage you can find a place to download redhat there.
in a good local computer shop there is a good chance that you can find linux there. the best way to learn it is to buy it and if you don't know anything read it in the book with is with it.
www.linux.com for many information over linux
www.freebsd.com for many information about bsd

linux::distribution::packages
Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)
NAME
Linux::Distribution::Packages - list all packages on various Linux distributions
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write);
$linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({'format' => 'csv', 'output_file' => 'packages.csv'});
$linux->distribution_write();
# Or you can (re)set the options when you write.
$linux->distribution_write({'format' => 'xml', 'output_file' => 'packages.xml'});
# If you want to reload the package data
$linux->distribution_packages();
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the
packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats: native, csv, and xml.
Distributions currently working: debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag.
The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls.
EXPORT
None by default.
TODO
* Add the capability to correctly get packages for all recognized distributions. * Seperate out parsing from writing. Parse data to hash
and give access to hash. Then write the formatted data from the hash.
