UNIX Operating System
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and Unix. I have a couple of questions and please, excuse my ignorance.
I have a spare machine which is now running MS Windows 98 and I would like to format the disk and install the Unix operating system along with Oracle 8i and SQL Server.
My question is this, where can I purchase the Unix software? and which version do I need? I know there is Sun Solaris, HP and AIX.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
