A friend of mine is in the market for a 68020 based Amiga system.
He wants something like the 2500UX that he can run UN*X on.  He
wonders if he would be better off to just buy a stock 2500 from
Commodore, or if there is better price/performance in buying a 
2000 and equipping it with 3rd party hardware?  Could someone please
enlighten me (us) on what some good alternatives are to the 2500?
Also, could you please let me know what are the restrictions with
Commodore and other hardware (e.g. the 2090a not working in overscan).

Finally, does anyone know of a BSD UN*X port on the Amiga.  My friend
(and I also) love UN*X but think that System V is a braindead attempt
at best.  (Please no flames, I state this as an opinion, not fact).
