I Need To Brush Up On My Unix Skills

[Yavin4]

I have an XP machine. Does anyone know of a remote UNIX host that I can dial into from my XP machine?

1. VMWare or Bochs

If VMWare is in the budget you cant do any better. You can download and install any number of linux/unix distros and just install and run them in a window under the emulator.

Bochs is a free clone of VMWare that runs less well but its free and you cant beat that.

If you really want just a shell account try http://sdf.lonestar.org/

2. Not actually UNIX but

I run Foxserv for testing php, apache mysql on XP

from the website foxserv.net

"FoxServ is an Apache / mySQL / PHP installer package for Windows. Unlike NuShpere or PHPTriad, FoxServ features the latest version of all included pacakges, user defined configuration during installation, PHP as a module, PEAR, and the Zend Optimizer "

4. Have a spare computer sitting around?

Load up Linux and start playing around.

You might want to load linux onto a spare hard drive partition
and dual boot your rig...that would be another option.
