Totally new unix user

Hi, ive just been given a HP UX c180 to play with, along with a few external hd`s, can anyone recommend me a good place to start learning unix please as i havent got a clue what im doing when it comes to unix.
Either web links or book recomendations would be great.
I would like to set it up with linux if this is possible?
Or failing that have it as a firewall come file server for my home network.
Thanks in advance Greg.
