It's more like a small component, which people have adapted for thousands of uses.

Other UNIX are often more combined than this.

and do they follow same standard commands in the Unix system?

Not even all UNIX is alike.

2. Do you know which Unix\Linux is better than other or has higher market demand in regard to getting a good job?

It's not an exclusive thing. Learning one kind of UNIX won't stop you from learning others, if anything it'll make it easier to switch if you need to.

3. Do you operate Unix system by only using commands, how many commands are they?

Using commands and editing files. You don't need to memorize everything. Small simple commands will become part of the language, so to speak. More complicated ones you can look up at need.

5. What is the best way to intall Unix\Linux in my computer? I have two computers, One has XP and other one is running with Windows 7. I don't want to install Virualbox which did not work.

I might install an extra hard drive on one of the computers and use that to dual-boot. This is safer than trying to install it on the same drive, which could destroy both if you make a mistake.

NAME

       page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require page::util::quote  ?0.1?

       package require snit

       ::page::util::quote::unquote char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.

API

       ::page::util::quote::unquote char
	      A  character,  as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
	      their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the  result
	      of the command.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
	      regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl  parser  and
	      will generate a human readable representation of the character in question.  The string is returned as the result of this command.

	      The  string  does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
	      with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser  when
	      used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.

BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK
       This  document,	will  undoubtedly  contain  bugs  and  other  problems.  Please report such in the category page of the Tcllib SF Trackers
       [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883].  Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have.
