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
uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme. COMMANDS
uri::urn::quote url This command quotes the characters disallowed by the urn scheme (per RFC 2141 sec2.2) in the url and returns the modified url as its result. uri::urn::unquote url This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from all disallowed characters, and returns the modified urls as its result.
