Unix for a windows Tech

for openers. More people offering tech support are to be found there.
I know Unix and get around in Linux and Windoze as well but at the moment am suffering a heavy cold which prevents me giving you anything usably coherent. I do think you'd have better luck under questions.
One other thing, not meaning to be facetious but you could try one of those Unix for Dummies type books. You're sure as hell going to need something to guide you in just the most basic steps of Unix. One thing to start with; which version of Unix are you trying to use. There are some different flavours floating about, just like in the different flavours of Linux such as Ububtu, Red Hat,etc., etc. Good luck; you're going to need it.

You will have to talk to them because there is a lot more that you will need than just WHAT the database name is.

You will need data fields as well.

Do you have software that will feed this? We use "Relativity" to feed our databases on SCO Unix to our other systems.
