With not knowing absolute nothing about Unix can anyone let me in on how it is setup and how easy is it to learn?I'm using MML Commands and know that it is completely different but if I start learning commands in UNIX is that a good way to get started?
It depends on which version or which distro you are using. I would recommend choosing a version(Red Hat Linux and SuSe Linux are my personal choices) and diving in.
Use the FAQ portion of the forum, along with old threads and lots of Googling to help with your basics.
