Hi,
I am working in solaris 7 on intel platform. Many vendors offer unix on intel platorm for free or for learning purpose (non-commercial usage) including freebsd,solaris,sco. You can also download solaris 8 for free from sun website. To be in one liner, every vendor in unix is offering the OS on intel platform. As Neo pointed out except IRIX (now they are going to port it for intel platorm also soon ) , every other vendor has unix for intel platform.
As for as your hardware goes, i hope a bare minimum would be sufficient to learn . But it would be great if you have pc with NIC , modem, multimedia kit, application software for unix, so that you can gain knowledge by installing, configuring and maintaining the peripherals . A small network environment with two or more pc's will be great to learn things for networking .
Hope this helps

libpfm_intel_p6
LIBPFM(3) Linux Programmer's Manual LIBPFM(3)
NAME
libpfm_intel_p6 - support for Intel P5 based processors
SYNOPSIS
#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>
PMU name: pm, ppro, pii, piii, p6
PMU desc: Intel Pentium M, Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel P6
DESCRIPTION
The library supports all Intel P6-based processors all the way back to the Pentium Pro. Although all those processors offers the same PMU
architecture, they differ in the events they provide.
MODIFIERS
The following modifiers are supported on all Intel P6 processors:
u Measure at user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2, 3. This corresponds to PFM_PLM3. This is a boolean modifier.
k Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level 0. This corresponds to PFM_PLM0. This is a boolean modifier.
i Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count cycles in which the event is not occurring. This is a boolean modifier
e Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state transition. This is a boolean modifier.
c Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold. The counter will count the number of cycles in which the number of occur-
rences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold. This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
