Question I need a Unix OS similar to HP-UX
Hi,

I am trying to quickly learn Unix because I am going to be using HP-UX soon.
Problem is I can't find download HP-UX.

Does anyone know a Unix OS I can download that is more like HP-UX?

I'm running windows vista at the moment.

HP has a "testdrive" program that offers free HP-UX accounts. I have never tried it, but maybe it will help you. If you try it, please consider posting a review in this thread. Link: Hewlett-Packard Test Drive

Hi.

Thanks to Perderabo for mentioning testdrive.hp.com. The response to account requests is fast, and they have a variety of system combinations, not just hp-ux. I was able to successfully login to only one of the systems I requested, but perhaps the weekends are for time off.

There is also a free (sort-of) service at polarhome.com. They offer a variety of service accounts (including hp-ux), but there is an odd charge to go from an email-web account to a real shell account. They are in Stockholm, so if you are on that side of the world, communications may be better -- or at least faster; things were a bit sluggish for me in the Midwest US ... cheers, drl
