Well, I'm not involved in the Amiga UNIX project at all, so I can
speculate just like any outsider:
I think the term "AMIX" was related with the first port of UNIX SVR3.2
with that proprietary windowing system. Now it is switched to SVR4 with
X instead of the other windowing system. Perhaps the naming simply
differs because of this.
Only speculation.
