on a virtual machine, set it as a server and configure routing with pigs
, that's all
PS. thanks for answers

Answer 1

linux
ubuntu
And yes, with a graphical shell. Because you can sit in the console and in the browser. Although LFS
is better, of course , but in order to pump through the administrative part, this is overkill.

Answer 2

this is from the category of this Which OS is better to use for a web programmer?

Answer 3

You have already been correctly advised Ubuntu GNU/Linux. But! GNU is not Unix. Living Unix™ is something you don't see very often these days. So your question is initially incorrect. You need to ask about unix-like. And in the case of unix-like Ubuntu / Debian - the best choice.
Link, respectively ubuntu.com/debian.org

Answer 4

UNIX is not good enough for learning. These operating systems are painfully specific, and expensive. Of pop music, only poppy comes to mind.
But Linux is another matter.

Answer 5

FreeBSD and OS X of the living are closest to unix today, if you need unix-like, then Debian/Ubuntu/CentOs are the most common on servers.

Answer 6

Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and all these ubunts of yours are not UNIX at all xD

Answer 7

You can try FreeBSD - it's much closer to the original BSD UNIX, and UNIX in general, than the entire cohort of GNU/Linux distributions.
Then RedHat / Centos / Debian / Ubuntu Server.

Answer 8

Try Red Hat derivatives on the server. Although, personally, as for me, you can deploy anything on the server.
If you need skills (but not necessarily Linux) - FreeBSD.
