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!
