Shell access
Hey guys,
Ive recently started playing around on public access unix systems like sdf.lonestar.org. Ive always been interested in UNIX, but Ive never really had the time to do anything with it until now. What i want to know is advice on free (or cheap) OS's to use on new unix system, with my end goal being remote access. Ive got the hardware to build the system, but its the software im lost on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

check out linuxiso.org
they have a ton of distros *bsd, all diff distros of linux. what you really need to do is READ A TON!!! keep reading on these forums. try to read as many threads as you can even if the thread doesnt pertain to your situation. it never hurts to learn something that you dont necessarily need.

Yeah, Ive been doing that at work... I should have asked if anyone has done anything similar and would be willing to give me a few pointers.
