I am new to UNIX OS, as a matter of fact,i have never really seen one. But i would like to know what makes UNIX stand out from other OS.I mean, what are the unique features of UNIX?
What other OS are you referring to?
Generally, you have a COMPLETE control over you machine if you are running Unix/Linux. It'll take time to learn it but once you do you will love it.
If reliability, scalability and performance are your concern I'll throw out the Windows.
