I'm not really sure about the Amiga Unix thing, but I know that there IS (or is shortly going to be) an "Amiga 3000UX", which is supposed to run Unix (or a close facsimile thereof). - Andrew (aabenson@balance.cs.mtu.edu or AABENSON@MTUS5.BITNET)

It exists; I saw several of them at the Commodore booth at Comdex a few weeks ago. One of them was running X-windows with a genlock and camcorder so that what the camera saw appeared in one of the windows. Another one looked like it was trying to do a command-line shell, but someone logged out and nobody knew how to log in again.

Someone that I work with is an Amiga lover and he showed me a writeup on the
existing UNIX for the Amiga. It's been around for awile but it's not to
heavily supported/used.

Well, just to put my 2 cents in, the Amiga UNIX is the first full commercial release of a System V release 4 UNIX system. And no I don't own one, and prob'ly will never have the money to buy one until they are obsolete, but I do think the Amiga is probably the best micro out there. I like my GS and I use it everyday, but if I were to buy a computer today it would definitely be an Amiga 3000. -- John -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | | Q: "Growl for me, microbrain; jearls@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU | show me that you still care."

Maybe they were talking about a Unix clone called MINIX. The release version of Unix is a full AT&T licensed version. -- Bob ______ Pro-Graphics BBS "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ________ UUCP: crash!pro-graphics!bobl | Pro-Graphics: 908/469-0049 ARPA/DDN: pro-graphics!bobl@nosc.mil | America Online: Graphics3d Internet: bobl@pro-graphics.cts.com | CompuServe: RIP _________ ___________ Raven Enterprises 25 Raven Avenue Piscataway, NJ 08854
