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!

socket-event(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   socket-event(8)

NAME
socket - event signalling that a socket connection has been made SYNOPSIS
socket PROTO=PROTO PORT=PORT ADDR=ADDR socket PROTO=PROTO PATH=PATH DESCRIPTION
The socket event is generated by the upstart-socket-bridge(8) daemon when a socket connection is made whose details match the socket event condition and environment specified in a jobs start on or stop on stanza. When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the job in question to allow it to accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environ- ment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket. EXAMPLES
Internet socket Start web server when first client connects from localhost: start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=80 ADDR=127.0.0.1 Local socket start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=/var/run/.s.pgsql.1234 Abstract socket start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=@/at/upstart/example AUTHOR
