I am a long-time Windows NT, 2000 user at home and work. I want to learn Unix to broaden myself. What flavor do you recommend and how do you recommend practicing with it at home? how to get a copy of it to practice with?

Theres, a lot of ways for you to learn unix. If your expect to get the answer from this forum Generally the best way is to check the FAQ Threads of this Forum [Answers to Frequently Asked Questions - UNIX and Linux Forums](http://www.unix.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=24)

- For my style i install and learn Unix by exploring it. Some prefer learning from book or from the Internet. Search in google also recommended.
