thank you for the replies. I think opensolaris or solaris is a great way to start. isnt open solaris just the new version of solaris? i thought maybe its best if i just go with opensolaris? what is the advantages of using solaris over opensolaris?

also, last night i came across info on slackware and apparently (according to wiki), it is the most unix like linux. so would this be a good alternative?
