I need a path to install UNIX on my home PC
I have searched through the FAQ's and other posts on this board but haven't found what I need.
I need to help installing UNIX on my home PC, then help on how to use it. I also want to learn how to program in UNIX / C. See? I don't even know any lingo. I am fairly experienced in mainframe assembler programming, and use Windows all the time. But I do not do any PC platform based programming.
I have, in my rush to learn, bought Red Hat Linux for Dummies, which comes with two CD's. I think an OS is on them. I also own and just started reading "Learning the UNIX Operating System" by Jerry Peek, Grace Todino, and John Strand (O'Reilly). It's the 5th edition.
I need to keep Windows 98SE on the same PC (for everyone else in the house).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
