How to learn UNIX

First question is how do you learn UNIX on a home lab. I understand that HP-UX isn't free and neither is SCO Unix and they don't run on x86 based systems anyways. The choices I believe are going to be OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. My question is UNIX commands the same across the board so if I learn to use OpenSolaris will I be able to use HP-UX (which is what I ideally want to learn).

Do all UNIX variants also have a GUI like OpenSolaris and FreeBSD or is say HP-UX command line based. I need some advice on the best course of action please.

Cheers for any help Smilie
