I just saw the announcement of MacMinix in the comp.sys.mac newsgroup
and was very interested;  I've been looking for a Unix for less money
than A/UX ($1000) for awhile.  But the listing of features seems to
imply that MacMinix doesn't take advantage of the 68030's protected
mode.  Is this true?  Protected mode is a big unix feature that I find lacking
from the macintosh operating system.
