Thanks for the detailed response Carl and about the info you provided on installing through a CD, and MacOS.
As a programmer I don't really know much about installing OSs, but my husband is a n/w admin so he's doing all the install and config. We finally installed Linux Fedora and I was able to play with the command line mode.
The command line interface of Linux looks and behaves very similar to Unix.
Most commands that I knew (ls, chmod) also work on Linux. and it has the Vi editor and I think I can also write shell scripts on it.
By learning the Linux command line interface I think it will bring me up to speed with Unix as far as job requirements are concerned.
I have some data on Windows, I think I'll back them up on a CD and make the old laptop a full Linux system. The old laptop only has 256MB or RAM, I think I can upgrade it to 512MB, then things should probably stop crashing.
So for now I'll stick with Linux at home , and Unix at work (when I land on a job).

NAME
nwpjvm - Move print job to Unix queue
SYNOPSIS
nwpjmv [ -S server ] [ -h ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -q queue name ] [ -c command ] [ -j job number ] [ -d ]
DESCRIPTION
nwpjmv is a program that connects to print queues on NetWare servers and moves a designated print job to a Unix queue.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the print server name at the server.
-P password
password is the password to use for the print server at the server. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection
to the server, pserver prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if the print server does not require a password.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-q queue name
queue name is the name of the print queue you want to service.
-c command
nwpjmv removes the designated job from the Novell queue and feeds the job file to stdin. command is the printing command that is exe-
cuted for each job. The default command is 'lpr'.
You can insert several flags into the command, preceded by %. These are replaced with values retrieved from the queue structure for the
print job.
%u: This field will be replaced by the name of the user who posted this print job.
%d: This field will be replaced by the job description field of this print job.
-j job number
This designates the ID number of the print job to be moved.
-d causes extra error messages to be logged.
