Can I install Unix ok my PC? I mean not linux, nor bsd.

Although the name of this forum is unix and linux, most of the users seem to be running some flavor of linux.

Absolutely, though there really isn't much reason to unless you have a specific need for one these days. The reasons would generally be that you have specific hardware/software that only supports a particular implementation of Unix. That's mostly legacy stuff these days as Linux / *BSD are the 'go to' platforms. If you decide to do this just be aware: you won't gain very much and will lose a lot in terms of functionality and software availability. Also, there isn't one Unix, there are several different vendors so you'd have to pick one.

Agree with blihp and Jeff Schaller, having done lots of consulting and managed a few data centers... when you say "Unix proper", what do you mean? AT&T system V? True64? The one true unix?

If you want POSIX certfied, that is one thing, install an OS from the list on this page. If you want to learn "unix", there is more help in installing some variant of Linux than any other "unix" out there, IMHO.
