I've heard that there's an announcement coming soon on Amiga UNIX.  I
think the main advantage of Amiga UNIX vis a vis AUX and NeXT is
probably that of low-cost SVR4 compatibility.  I've heard the windowing
is reasonably fast.  I don't think you'll see applications compiled for
the Amiga operating system running on it for a while (maybe never).

Mainly, I'm saying Amiga UNIX is there, it's real.  Some people are
running it.  You should probably call Commodore in West Chester,
Pennsylvania for more answers.  Be sure to ask about educational
discounts.
