Unix will be the operating system running on your server. Unix has been in existence for a long time in various forms and Linux is based on Unix. Those that know Unix have little trouble in getting to grips with Linux. The operating system used on the server is generally referred to as the platform on which your website will reside. Other possibilities are MS Windows server or OS X. Unix/Linux platforms are the most popular UK website hosting solutions in use today and is generally cheaper than other platforms.
If you have not used Unix or Linux before, do not worry. The transition is not that great for the majority of us, since most of your interaction with your server will usually be via a control panel of some sort. This is the interface between you and the server and is fairly easy to pick up, in effect it is just a collection of web pages and forms.
