First of all I just want to that this is not a joke...

We use a Unix system at work but I know absolutly nothing about the OS.
I am presently reading The first book of Unix but was wondering how to
copy a file from the HD to a floppy ?

I am running W95 on my current system and I'm interested in maybe
running a unix os under W95. Is this possible? Is there a real basic
freeware version somewhere so I could learn the basics of the OS ?
 
Thanks

 Ray
