Which Unix/Linux to start using?

Hi all,

New to the forum and in fact Unix.

I want/need to start learning Unix and am a bit confused as to which to start using/download...

Could someone please kindly point me in the right direction as how to get started, there seem to be so many different versions, etc... that i'm getting a bit confused.

I want to start getting used to Unix, how to install, how it works, and get a good feel of the product as I would like to add it to my skills...

Could anyone kindly dedicate me a few minutes and point me in the right direction, in particular:

- Which version to use to gain basic experience in Unix.
- Where to download from.
- Basic installation guide.

Thank you in advance.
