well it all depends on what you want to do.. there are a bunch of differner versions of unix.
freeBSD, HP-UX, linux, take your pick... if you ar e new to unix and using windows.
try
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/
this is a korn shell that you can install in windows... a good step to learning UNIX.. It has most of the man pages.
u can get mandrake 8.1 (if you dont mind downloading and burning the 3 ISO's)
homepage
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/
3 ISO's
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3#iso
you can use mandrake in its own enviroment or in windows.
mandrake is an easy linux OS.
i started with HP-UX... and i wish i had started with Uwin.
