I want to build a simple site which will have a top level menu like
UNIX LINUX WINDOWS
and then under each category have several links to topic related to the above categories.

Can you guide me briefly, how to achieve this? Thanks a lot!

use the taxonomy.module to create your organization of tags and use the menu module to place the links to the listings in your primary menu.

you can expand on listings using the views.module. Beyond that it's difficult to help in detail because you did not tag nor mention the version of drupal in use.

documentation for the taxonomy.module can be found in the handbooks under the core modules area. http://drupal.org/handbooks

Thanks for your response. I am using Drupal 6. So lets say I have 100 links under windows categories pointing to different websites articles. I want to build a menu
windows unix linux
Then when someone click on that windows menu , all the links come up paged. So if I have set up 10 entries per page then first 10 links show up on first page and user can click on subsequent pages to see other links. So my top menu is just 3 categories.

Thanks

create a taxonomy administer -> taxonomy

create Windows, Linux and Unix terms
associate the taxonomy with a content type

submit that content type with the new terms which will be in a drop down upon creating or editing node.

see: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/taxonomy for more information on the taxonomy module.
Pay special attention toward the bottom of the documentation where it discusses using taxonomy in menus.
