Unix Emulators?

Does anyone know of a freeware Unix emulator for windows? I would like to have one so I can experinment with the commands without having to go to the labs.

Try cygwin.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Cygwin is a poor emulator for giving someone the proper "feel" of a Unix like system.

download a Knoppix ISO or Gnoppix ISO and burn yourself a bootable Linux-on-a-CD. That way you get to try the real thing without having to repartion or whatever.

I don't know how. Besides, what if I'm in a location where I can't get internet or network access? Then it wouldn't matter if I knew how to or not.

Hehe, I'm a poor college kid. Having money is a fantasy of mine....


I'll look into Knoppix. Thanks.
