If you are here its for UNIX not MS-DOS...
Welcome by the way...
I suggest you get a copy of knoppix or something equivalent and put your hands in it, if after a week you are not discouraged you can try to get a linux installed on your PC...

-- addendum... ---

A knoppix is what I suggest to all new folk that have never seen a unix/linux OS before, for you boot from the CD or DVD and just let it do the job for you ... no install, when you have finished playing with it you exit and thats it your PC is back to what it was...
only all you mount will be Readonly...

Better still or while loading or looking for a knoppix, load vi for PC and start to learn vi ! Yes very important if you wish to learn seriously UNIX/linux
