Which UNIX version for beginners

1. I would like to know which UNIX version I should use as a beginner and from I can get it?

2. How much hard disk space(drive space...in case of dual boot) does it require?

3. Can I run it from USB or Live CD?

4. Is there any need of installing UNIX if I have Linux... ie does Linux support UNIX commands or does it support some kind of UNIX patch so that I do not have to install UNIX and Linux separately as I already have Windows installed on my PC and I will definitely install Linux Ubuntu 10.10?

My PC Config :

Operating System Name : Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 64-bit
Version : 6.1
Build Number : 7600
Service Pack :
Common Controls Version : 5.82

Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz
RAM : 2 GB


Your answers would really help me as a beginner?


Regards
Arpit
