Potential new user of Unix
Hi all,
Complete and utter virgin Unix person here (I don't even have the OS yet)
As I'm doing a "looking into it" kinda thing before I move from MS I hope my questions are not inappropriate.
1. Should I get some kind off anti virus software. I know Unix is pretty good for not getting them compared to MS, but it pays to be careful.
2. If so who from
3. How do I tell if my computer will run Unix or derivative OS (my laptop is a Toshiba although I am thinking of moving to Apple Mac - problem solved I guess - if $$$ permit)
4. Where can I get the OS from. Download over internet or do I need to purchase it
I guess that's to start with as I'm sure with my knowledge growing so will my questions.
I am doing research over the internet (I just moved to Firefox form IE, what a difference) and hope to make this forum a way to get info too.
Cheers all.
