It wasn't so long ago that I was in your position, hoping an employer would take a chance with me....
Almost all of my own Unix knowledge was self-taught by reading and by playing around on various Unix systems. If you are comfortable working with computers, you will probably be able to get up to speed as an intermediate Unix user pretty quickly, especially given your previous exposure. You will have to put in the time to do some reading, and of course have a machine you can access to practice and explore as you go...
As for the job, I think you should be honest with the potential employer about your skill level...you may find that they are willing to send you to a training class to get you up to speed. On the other hand, they might need someone who has more experience...it would be better to find out now, than 3 months from now in the CIO's office!
In summary: Go for it, be honest about your skills, but also be honest about your eagerness to learn...
Good luck.

platform::shell
platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
