About Unix OS

[Sree Harsha V]

I am getting used with the Unix commands in the Linux Enviroment. Linux is free for download . Is there any way we can get the unix OS for download and install in the computer? Please let me know.

Hi Sree:

No, sorry, you must purchase the HP-UX operating system software. Third party retailors and/or Ebay often sell used systems with applicable licences, though.

Thanks for the replay James. I want to know if there is any Unix OS is avalible for download(not HP UX). I am using the RHEL now on my computer and I feel I can learn more if I install Unix in my computer . Is it possible?

Hello Sree.

You can also try SUN solaris OS.

Hi (again):

> I am using the RHEL now on my computer and I feel I can learn more if I install Unix in my computer.

Linux/Unix --- what do you care if your objective is to learn and explore the Unix paradigm? If your goal is to become proficient with the various nuances of any particular Linux distribution or any particular implementation of Unix (HP, AIX, SUN, etc), then you question makes better sense. You need to define your objective(s).

Regards!
