Learning UNIX
Hi Everyone,
I know nothing about Solaris / Linux / AIX but I know they are all part of Unix.

I have been using Windows the last 15years and I have been a LAN admin, I am now working in IT Operations and we use some solaris commands but not much plus its from following a document so we can't go wrong.

I want to learn AIX, do I need to know commands for Linux / Solaris before even looking at AIX.

I live in Dublin Ireland and would like to do a course for beginners in AIX, or is there any good books out there for beginners ?

I can have username/password access to a test box for testing commands for learning, the aix admin can set me up with this.

Any advice ??????
