I don't have words to thank both of you enough for guiding me with sincerity in the selection of Unix\Linux system.
I have started learning Python and Ruby as well.
After a few search I have a found this link tech-faq.com/where-to-download-unix where you can download different types of Unix\Linux. As you mentioned that OpenBSD or FreeBSD has more advantages, however you can always explore to other one.
it seems to me that you can download and burn the installation files to CD. Just wondering whether you can install BSD in external hard drive, so I don't need to install another internal hard drive for specific to Unix system running.
Is there installation instruction after downloading it to the hard drive?
Thanks a lot

update-bgoffice-dicts
UPDATE-BGOFFICE-DICTS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation UPDATE-BGOFFICE-DICTS(1) NAME
update-bgoffice-dicts - automate updating of bgoffice dictionaries SYNOPSIS
update-bgoffice-dicts [option...] DESCRIPTION
update-bgoffice-dicts automates the downloading and updating of bgoffice dictionaries. It uses debconf(7) to ask the user which dictionaries to download, then invokes bgoffice-dict-download(1) to download them, and finaly extracts the files in the right directory, so that bgoffice can find them. The last part will fail unless update-bgoffice-dicts is run as root. OPTIONS
--no-ask Normally, debconf won't ask the questions that are already seen by the user. That behaviour is disabled by default, as it is quite useful to be able to change your dictionary selection when invoking update-bgoffice-dicts. If you want to simply re-download and unpack the dictionaries, based on a previously made selection, use that option. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE
