I am starting to get a great interest in Linux/Unix
and finally got myself a system to "test" my skills and play
around with linux/Unix Operating System

My question is  : On a 486/66 32 megs ram 500Megs HD
what would be a better learning tools, Linux 3.0 or FreeBsd 2.17
I am looking to play and learn about management Unix at Home.

I already Have a network Novell 4.10 running with 3 Nodes, 2 Printers
and fax server. Will the Unix system be easily intergrated in this
network ( I run a local Ip addressing scheme)? 

and Lastly, All my Computers run Win95 with Netware 32bit does
anyone know of a good Terminal Software to run on it to access
my new Unix/Linux Server ? (Tn3270????)

Thank you for the input.
