Really basic question....
Hello all. Let me start off by saying I know a little more then it seems by me asking this question... here goes
I have an old 486 box and I want to start messing around with unix. I've been taking classes for 3 or 4 years in c programming in unix, so I am used to the commands and such, but I don't have a unix system set up at my house. I'm not even sure where to start... can someone direct me to a site where I can download a unix client? any help on what to do after that would be appreachiated as well. thanks!

Could someone tell me the command to find out the OS version which will give 12 character not the 9 characters(which is usually machine id).
uname -i gives machine id and uname -a is more comprehensive way to look.

SYNOPSIS
purity-ng [OPTION]... list|FILE|TESTNAME
DESCRIPTION
Purity is an interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format. For each test, questions are printed to
the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question. At a prompt, these are your choices:
y Answer "yes" to the question.
n Answer "no" to the question.
b Backup one question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
s Print your current score on the test you are taking.
q Quit the test, and print the current score.
? Print a help screen for the current prompt.
At the end of the test, your score is printed out. For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.

print current version of purity-ng
-h, --help

-p print the test without prompting for answers.
-r decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.
