Unix is an Operating system. BSD,Solaris etc are its variants and *nix server is as u see is a server on *nix. U need to know what kind of server u r planning to implement on *nix. There r guides u can find through google. Identify what u want to do.

If u don't know anything then I suggest u pick up knoppix or belenix live distro and familiarise urself with it first!

^ the UNIX server U r running will be sco(ess-cow) unix server(open server,unixware)?get its manual ready or will be already bundled.most of the commands and operations are the same.

Just logon to the "*nix server they r using" and type "uname". U will know which unix server they r running.

yeah SCO Unix is the most popular flavor of commercially available unix , me to running SCO Openserver 5 for learnin Unix .

btw , i got this book from a senior for learning Unix :

UNIX : Concepts and Applications by Sumitabha Das

it's quite good , gives u a complete history of unix in the first 3 chapters then it tells u why unix has so many small commands and the plilosophy behind the command naming and option structure in Unix n then gives u a complete guide to using and administering Unix from the command line .

Get "Linux Bible 2006" (Dunno if 2007 is available) and Linux Complete Command Reference and learn common commands.. install a Red Hat or Fedora Core distro and u are ready to go..
