If you are looking from the cost angle:
1) RedHat: Free to DL or some software stores have it for 45$ or you can get
it
from a company like lsl.com for ~5$
Installs on any intel, AMD, or Cyrix based system
Most of the software you will want is free
Takes less than an afternoon to setup
2) Solaris: (Last I saw) Adbout 600$ for a 1 year "subscription" program
(Get all
updates for a year)
Doesn't install on intel systems have to purchase a SPARC system
or
something similar
Can get Solarisx86 it does install on intel based system ~200$
or so
Some of the software you will want is free
Will take you better than half a day to set up
I have worked with just about everything, for UNI* I prefer SunOS it is
faster
than Solaris (or as some people call: slowaris). For Linux I like Debian
over
RedHat, RedHat though is more user friendly.
