   I am new to UNIX, and want to download a basic UNIX system, just to
   run commands and become familiar with the system.  I wish to use this
   system as a companion piece to a UNIX tutorial which I have on DVD. I
   do not want to replace Windows at this time.

   My PC has:  Pentium III Processor at 1GHz, 128MB RAM at 133 MHz,
   Windows ME operating system.

   What course of action do you recommend that I take?

   Thanks.
