Question Home Unix OS
Hiya, guys!

I am quite new to the Unix world (and enjoying it). I currently have a unix shell account with cyberspace.org, but I want to have my own little unix system at home. Especially for programming, and maybe setting up acouple of accounts on my computer, so my friends can access from their terminals.

Could anyone recommend the best software to buy?

Much appreciated, Cheers,

FRY.
