Best version of UNIX to get?

[arcenite]

I want to get a version of it for my computer and wondering what to get. We use solaris at school and am wondering if that's the version I should get, how do I get it?

Thanks 🙂

P.S. Nik, Blow Me 😛

Edit: I need to/should learn it for my programming class. They use Solaris for everything there.
Edit2: Thanks guys, I'll just go with Solaris then (I didn't realize it was free)

you probably want linux more so than unix....

if you're looking for something easy, try knoppix. i like the new dvd version because of all the programs that are available on it.

What do you want to do with it ?... plus you cannot just 'get' UNIX.... you want a UNIX-like operating system.

1) Linux (Ubuntu)
2) FreeBSD
3) Sun Solaris 10

No, from the way I read it he wanted a more BSD style environment.. completely different from the Linux kernel, etc.

This is why I asked what he wanted it for in my original post.

oh and fvck sco 😉
