Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers UNIX based / like OS suggestions to dual boot with Windows Post 302651387 by egill on Tuesday 5th of June 2012 12:01:39 PM

No, nothing is wrong with Ubuntu, I just find myself wondering if a different OS, like Solaris or something, would be better. Is there any important difference between a Linux and UNIX system for a newbie like me? It would be mainly for just recreational / learning purposes.

I had an old tower going with Linux on it for a while, but the motherboard finally went out.

I've been wanting to get another tower, and hopefully I'll be able to do what you suggest in the not-so-distant future..

Thanks for your reply!
