FreeBSD is hardcore, honestly. If you want to be a hacker, this will teach you how to be a hacker.

Pure UNIX is even harder core. Text base UNIX, that is.

but UNIX (generally) isnt free e.g AIX, SystemV, HP/UX all cost megabucks (well, solaris is kinda free i suppose)

can i append a question to this? I dont think I am hijacking and it would be better to append the question here rather than start a whole new thread.
Is there a version of linux that is really fast, can do a great variety of software like chess, wordprocessing, databases, java web browser and so on in a GUI but is still reasonably hardcore enough to teach one some linux(i mean not do things via a GUI but in the CLI. Of course the software should run in a window once opened.)
sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. but i am new to linux. very new.

... what society overwhelmingly asks for is snake oil. Of course, the snake oil has the most impressive names —otherwise you would be selling nothing— like "Structured Analysis and Design", "Software Engineering", "Maturity Models", "IPSE", "MIS", "OO", "BPRE".... by Edsger W. Dijkstra
