Yes...it is a good background to complement Cisco. If you go to work at a
NOC or as a network engineer for a dot com or something, it is inevitable
that you will need to network unix stations.
Linux is a great alternative...I would suggest looking into Solaris 8x86.
its gonna run on your wintel box and I think its only like...20
bucks...definitely worth the price of admission. Solaris is extremely
robust and I dont know about any of you...but I seem to find the command
line/terminal window interface of unix refreshingly similar to the Cisco
IOS.
My unix experience definitely helped me with the Cisco stuff
