 Yes, but  only with great difficulty.  Don't hold your breath.

  There are two reasons for this.  First, UseNet was originally a Unix
based network, so there is still a high proportion of Unix users here.
Second, the Amiga is more Unix-like than it is CMS-like.  The Lattice
C compiler is nearly Unix compatible, for example.  The CMS C compiler
isn't even CMS compatible 8-).

Get a good book on Unix and take a look.  This'll help clue you in.
