Installing UNIX and booting from External Hard Drive
Hello
I have a new project being kicked off next month and i should learn UNIX fast. I have never used UNIX before so i have the following questions:
1) Is any UNIX free to install?
2) Can i install and boot UNIX from an External Hard Drive (The system board on my laptop crashed so i took the hard drive out and it works fine as an external hard drive)
3) What are the steps to install UNIX on an external hard drive.
I really appreciate your help.
