AIX is in a world all of its own, or as they say:
AIX was implemented by Klingons from a description of Unix given by a
blind Romulan with a broken translator.

I haven't used Linux much heavily in the last few years, but back when I
used Linux and Solaris on the same network, I thought Linux had more in
common with Solaris than FreeBSD did. But FreeBSD is close enough that
you'll learn the essentials anyway.

Yes, both FreeBSD and Linux are able to dual boot with W2K and other
operating systems.
