Hello,
I've been assigned the task of administrating our local area network
which is uxis sr5. I know very little about unix. Is there a program
that I can run in windows 95 or dos that emulates unix? Something that
can teach me the basics of maneuvering around the directories and
writing small programs with the vi editor? Thanks in advance Dean

You can't emulate unix on windows 95. What I would suggest is that
you go to the bookstore and get you a good book on Unix - there are
many and start from there.

You might also want to download a copy of Linux and load it on a
machine at home (or put it on your Win95 machine as well and make the
system dual boot) so you can work more with it. Like anything else
the more you work with it the more you will learn. I didn't really
learn Unix until I loaded Linux at home.

Gentlemen, this is not the topic to be discussed in the newsgroup about WWW
servers...

You can. There are at least 2 packages that provide Unix-like environment
(shell, gcc, GNU tools etc.) on Win32 systems. One is GnuWin32
(http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/) and another is U/WIN
(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/). Of course, they are not
substitutes for real Unix systems.

Thanks for the responses on the two web sites. I will check them out.
Also I'd like to apologize to the moron who I offended for posting a
unix question in a unix newsgroup.

There is a DOS package out on the download sites that has most of the
unix utilities in it. I don't remember the name but I think if you go
to Shareware.com and search for UNIX it will turn up.

This is comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix for the discussion of web
servers that run under unix. Try comp.unix.admin instead.

Agreed...

So don't post flame bait and trolls. I have rarely seen a statement
I considered more brazenly false.
