Computer Where to start
Hi everyone:

I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.

I have decided to take up the challenge of learning a new OS. Now I can build my own computer and all that stuff. I know how Windows works. I see UNIX as an oppurtunity to gain the upper hand on a lot of other people who might be ignorant towards it. Is it possible to download UNIX for free or do I have to use Linux to get at UNIX? What type of LINUX is best Red Hat etc....

I look forward to eveyones comments

Thanks
