I suppose by "unix" threads you mean "posix threads". Linux has a
decent and fairly robust implementation of posix threads, implemented
partly in the kernel as the "clone" system call, and a userland library
libpthread that deals with the nitty-grity of clone and lower level
details and provides you with a posix-thread interface.
For more info do man pthread-create and friends. If you are using
any distro based on glibc2.1 (RH6.x, Suse 6.2+) then you already have
libpthread installed. For earlier glibc's you may have to go and get
libpthread and compile/install it.
Other than that just pick up any standard book on posix-threads
and it should apply to gnu/linux implementation of threads.
