learning UNIX on a Windows 2000 machine?
What is the best way to learn UNIX, shell, and Perl on a Windows 2000 machine? My place of employment uses Solaris and Perl and I would like to learn some UNIX skills on my home PC.
I read about "dual boots", "Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX", and "cygwin". What other free options are there? Which would you recommend for learning UNIX and Perl?
If somebody could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
