We get asked this queston approximately 9,000 times daily. If you do not wish to do a search, then I'll have to tell again how, "os purity" arguments notwithstanding, UNIX is an operating system design, not a blue box emblazoned "UNIX" that you go out and buy.
There are many OSes built to this design with greater and lesser degrees of compliance to the standard. You have your pick of BSD, Linux, Solaris, IRIX, QNX, AIX, SCO, HP-UX, Apple OSX...
Of these I'd reccomend Linux because it's free and compatible with nearly all common consumer machines(read, intel x86), but you'll find no shortage of other reccomendations here.

seeded-in-ubuntu(1) General Commands Manual seeded-in-ubuntu(1)
NAME
seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze
SYNOPSIS
seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...
DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.
If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.
An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.
OPTIONS
-b, --binary
The packages specified are binary packages. This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
binary packages that every specified source package builds.
-u URL, --data-url=URL
URL for index of seeded packages. Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit
EXAMPLES
All the images that contain unity:
seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
