Red hat Linux and UNIX.. Is there much difference?

I worked on HP UNIX systems for long time, a company asked me to come and have an interview with them, they need a new emplyee to work with Redhat Linux systems.. I never worked with Linux.. is there much difference? Is there any good manuals or guides on the web to read about RedHat?

Red hat Linux and UNIX.. Is there much difference?
There are a few differences and a LOT of similarities. If you want a taste of what it's like there is a Fedora Core 8 LiveCD you can download from the official Fedora site (Fedora is the Testing version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which is presumably what you'd be working on). Once you have it, assuming you are running X-Windows of course, opening a terminal and typing man %26lt;command%26gt; or info %26lt;command%26gt; or going to the Help item on the menu should get you to a pretty good idea of what is unique about it.
Reply:They are of the same "family", I don't think you will have too much trouble with the differences.


Here is a list of some of the common "red hat" commands


It is the same commands in all linux.

Just visit http://redhat.com for real details and just do a quick search on the net for linux commands and operations etc.





The "Red Hat Linux Bible" is a very complete book on the system. Get it at your local book store or Amazon etc.
Reply:I prefer AIX.





More stable and more secure.
