Solaris 10 can be downloaded for free (for private use only).

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp

Sun is using lots of commands that are specific to their Unix.

Anything else, you'd do well learning one of the BSD's that are around, as mentioned above.

I agree with the others in that if you know howto use Linux it will be easy to use a Unix box. Instead, once you know Unix, you'll have to adapt a lot to a Linux OS.

The best match would be using either Red Hat or SuSE, because they are widely spread. If you want to go for the pro and stable stuff, get Debian or Slackware instead.

All these OS (Unix BSD or SystemV), Plan9 or Linux comply to the free ISO POSIX standard:

There are numerous other realtime OS's which comply with this standard such as LynxOS and VXworks.

Cheers,

uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme. COMMANDS
