10559	2001-03-28 04:26:00	Hello, I have to start learning Unix. I have training CBT's for Unix. I am wondering if these training CBT's are relevant to general Linux commands. Is Linux just a different flavour to Unix? like Solaris. Or do I have to learn a completely different syntax for Unix and Linux? Where can I get a copy of Linux from apart from downloading it, do retail stores supply it? Thanks Mike	Guest (0)

If you use the same command shell in Linux as you do in Unix then it shouldn't be a problem. As far as getting it goes, I think the cheapest way is generally to buy a magazine with it on the cover. However, your local Linux users' group might be willing to burn a CD or two for you if you ask nicely. Alternatively, the mainstream distributions like Mandrake and Redhat are generally available as a retail product from places like Dick Smith and Harvey Norman, but they tend to be way overpriced.
