Unix or Linux? They are different things.
Unix (since 1994) is a specification, a standard that lists requirements that a conforming OS should fulfill. Installation procedure isn't a part of the specification, so it is different for every Unix.

AFAIK, Unix is a paid-for OS, and not really used for what you're wanting (which is pretty much a dead field anyways).

But, Backtrack is the de facto distro for this.

Kali is the new backtrack and look at offensive security for pentesting training (or ideas about what is involved).

Grey Wolf is right, MacOS is a Unix 03 OS and is probably the most user-friendly. Here's the list of Unix 03's http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/xy.htm
