Randall,

    This is a very cut and dry answer. Which UNIX is your employer going to be having you operate under? Within that question, you shall find your answer. :-)

    Regards,

Kris

    Subject: I need to learn UNIX --- Free BSD or Linux?
    
    
    Greetings!
     
    I need to learn UNIX for my employer.  I intend to do this at home.  I have an 18-gig hard drive that I intend to install Windows 2000 server on as the primary OS.  I would also like to dual boot with either Linux or FreeBSD to learn UNIX.
     
    Questions:
    1.  In reality, which OS is closer to AIX/Solaris/other System V in administration commands?
    2.  Will your OS dual-boot with W2K Server?
     
    Thanks!
