I'm interested in UNIX on my mac plus.  I just received MINIX 1.5 but i've
heard of other systems available.  MacIdris and MachTen are the others.

MINIX is not a true operating system - it's more of a unix environment since
it runs as a normal macintosh application.

Are these other systems true OS's, or are they just "fake" os's, running
on top of Mac/OS?

I'd appreciate the addresses of the above companies so I could track down
some information. 

Any comments are welcome.
