Depends what you mean by "real UNIX."  If you want to learn C and shell
programming, get the MKS Toolkit (more value per buck than any other
piece of software) and a C compiler (I use Borland but also have MicroShaft).
If you want to learn to be a **IX system administrator, SCO Xenix is fine
but it is rather pricey for one user.
