peac3,

Please see comments below on your queries

If I install linux mandriva at home as I have got it now,
would it be much different to admin other more popular flavour like (redhat, fedora) and unix.

functionality wise it is almost the same as Mandriva. Mandriva was derive from redhat. Im suggesting that you try the Fedora. Every new Rehdat technologies are incorporated at fedora core.let us say that it is a (staging RHEL in some ways).

Or would be the best if I spend some money to buy Redhat and install at home.

No need you just need the fedora download and thats it.

Actually, can I buy Solaris 10 Unix and install at home or unix require specific hardware and we need to buy from sun as the package (hardware and OS)?
Because we all know unix is most popular in the world.

Opensolaris will do. Just like fedora it Sun microsystems also incorporate new technologies at opensolaris.

If you can buy HW that will be a plus/ good point for your learning. Its means that your passionate on doing this unix admin thing.

Goodluck and cheers!
