online unix

Hi

I want to learn UNIX and UNIX shell scripting. But right now I can just read the tutorials as I don't have UNIX/LINUX at my computer. Is there any way by which I can try and test my UNIX commands and scripts over internet.

What I mean to say is there any online interface where I get a shell on my browser or using something like telnet, so that I can use UNIX OS on my windows OS without actually installing it (and without using Virtual Machine kind of things).

Thanks
When I was in 10th i thought I knew all the maths, when I came to graduate level, I thought there is something I didn't know about, and when I completed my PhD, i knew that I don't know anything about maths.

oh btw... I haven't done PhD

Something like http://www.masswerk.at/jsuix/ will offer you a limited number of commands/software. If you want to learn actual Unix though, at the very least download the PuTTY client and get a shell account.

Hey thanks...
I have a Putty client. But I don't if there is a UNIX server which allows random users like me to login to them and use the UNIX OS.

btw this the link you sent seems good

There are many providers which offer free shell accounts with a limited amount of disk space. A query of "free shell account" on any search engine should turn up what you're looking for.

Is there some reason why the VM route isn't an option?
FYI, cost isn't one of them, there are good and $0 ones about.

Why not burn an image of Ubuntu to a CD, and simply run the OS from the CD? You wouldn't have to install anything to do this.
