Which kind of UNIX do you mean? AIX? HP-UX? Solaris? Those are proprietary and only available when purchased (and for most only with the matching hardware). A free variant of Solaris (Open Solaris) is available through the boards directory.
An alternative route would be to try one of the BSD variants, as they are probably more "unixy" than most Linux distributions.

pull-lp-source
PULL-LP-SOURCE(1) General Commands Manual PULL-LP-SOURCE(1)
NAME
pull-lp-source - download a source package from Launchpad
SYNOPSIS
pull-lp-source [options] source package [release|version]
DESCRIPTION
pull-lp-source downloads and extracts the specified version of <source package> from Launchpad, or the latest version of the specified
release. To request a version from a particular pocket say release-pocket (with a magic -release for only the release pocket). If no ver-
sion or release is specified, the latest version in the development release will be downloaded.
OPTIONS
Listed below are the command line options for pull-lp-source:
source package
This is the source package that you would like to be downloaded from Launchpad.
version
This is the version of the source package to be downloaded.
release
This is the release that you would like the source package to be downloaded from. This value defaults to the current development
release.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit.
-d, --download-only
Do not extract the source package.
-m UBUNTU_MIRROR, --mirror=UBUNTU_MIRROR
Use the specified Ubuntu mirror. Should be in the form http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. If the package isn't found on this mir-
ror, pull-lp-source will fall back to Launchpad, as its name implies.
--no-conf
Do not read any configuration files, or configuration from environment variables.
ENVIRONMENT
All of the CONFIGURATION VARIABLES below are also supported as environment variables. Variables in the environment take precedence to
those in configuration files.
DIST Specifies the default target.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The following variables can be set in the environment or in ubuntu-dev-tools(5) configuration files. In each case, the script-specific
variable takes precedence over the package-wide variable.
PULL_LP_SOURCE_UBUNTU_MIRROR, UBUNTUTOOLS_UBUNTU_MIRROR
The default value for --mirror.
