Unix is an Operating System (OS) that was officially developed for first time by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan, Douglas McIlroy, Michael Lesk and Joe Ossanna. Nowadays, it is developed and distributed by Enterprize Vendors, such as HP, IBM, ORACLE and many more. It is used as a platform for database and web applications that hosted in big data centers with high rate transactions of gibabyte or terrabyte.
Unix can only be found in central sites and it is not intended as an OS for common end users, except for Apple MacOS (MacOS is Unix)
It is popular amongst army, Government, Intustry as an OS platform for central data center sites, due to its powerfull, secure multitasking kernel and its capabilities to integrate with sophisticated storage devices, ensuring high availability, integrity of crucial data and zero-downtime.
Some represantive UNIX OS trademarks for Server-Oriented applications are Sco-Unix, HP-UX, IBM-AIX, Oracle-Solaris, SGI-IRIX
Apart from these, there is Apple-MacOS and the open-source Gnu-Linux kernel (Unix-like) for PCdesktop-based applications, in a field where the Microsoft Windows Operating Systems would always prevail.
A good start to learn unix is, first of all, to try to install unix or unix-like OS. An original unix system that is X86-PC-capable is Oracle Solaris and anybody can download it and install it just for curiosity, but due to its server-oriented architecture lacks friendly desktop applications, as it would be expected. Instead, I would recommend a friendly version of Gnu-Linux kernel (Unix-like), that is Fedora Linux.
Fedora is friendly and challenging. The next thing users have to do is to follow the online installation-quick-start guide step-by-step. Sticking to this procedure, user makes his first step learning something different and unconventional about computers as he had seen or as taught till that momment. Linux can do everything, you can do social media (twitter, facebook etc..), play games online, hear music, watch movies, edit or print your windows office documents, even use it as a platform to develop new software.
But someone could ask "Why would someone use Linux in business and what is the relationship with unix;"
Well, Linux is the perfect cost-free choice for small-sized businesses and the entry level before starting to learn unix for those IT engineers who are interested to work as application developers on unix or administration.
Finally, I would suggest users to install and try many OS before they make their choice for their computers.
