If you only want one system that works for you, you may not really want to consider Unix if you already have a working Windows installation. I tried to persuade a friend of mine whom I know are quite proficient in computers to try Linux. Nope, he didn't dare to move.

To learn or not to learn depends totally on whether you have interests in it, because it is so much different compared with Windows. Of course, in my opinion you won't lose anything if you have a unix installation alongside your Windows installation, provided you have disk space. You can delete it if you don't like it, so I think it's good at least you have some tastes of what it is about.

Unix is not entirely open source, but most software on it are. Linux in particular is. Usually on x86 machines you install either *BSD or Linux. I think Linux is generally easier to set up (with installers) and gives you a more complete installation by default as shipped so you don't need to do a lot of post-install configuration. You can get more advice by doing a forum search here.

uml_switch

UML_SWITCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						     UML_SWITCH(1)

NAME

       uml_switch -- switch daemon for user-mode Linux

SYNOPSIS

       uml_switch [-unix control_socket data_socket]  [-hub]  [-tap tun device]  [-compat-v0]  [-daemon]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the uml_switch program.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       uml_switch is a daemon for managing a virtual network between user-mode Linux systems, with no connection to the host system's network.

       It will listen for connections on a pair of UNIX domain sockets, and forward packets between clients which connect to them.

OPTIONS

       -unix control_socket data_socket
		 Listen on the specified pair of sockets, instead of the defaults.

       -hub	 Act  like  a hub.  This means that packets received will be broadcast over all virtual links.	The default is to act as a switch,
		 where packets are only sent to the link matching the destination MAC address of the packet.

       -tap tap device
		 Connect the switch to a dynamically created tap device on the host

       -compat-v0
		 Specify control protocol version 0 compatibility.

       -daemon	 Run in the background as a daemon.
