I just got red hat linux server

I will let you know how it works out. One question is linux a type of unix or is it an os of its own and is a bit like unix?
Also , my cable company supports unix does that mean that they support linux?
I beleive that my cable modem will be connected to a net work card. If so would I just have to configure linux to the network card.
thanks for your input!
