I recently overheard someone comment on an Atari Unix system being offered in
Europe.

CAN IT BE TRUE? :->

I understand that Amiga now has a unix system, so the prospect of unix on the
ST sounds mighty encouraging; especially to those of us who love their ST and
love to boast of its capabilities.  However, if Atari doesn't get on the unix
bandwagon, I'm afraid that there won't be much for us to boast of.  

When I often suggest Atari to someone entering the home computer world, their
first question is often, "what about Unix?"  At which point I have to lower my
head and submit that I really don't know. :-(

Anyway, back to the point of all of this.  Can anyone out there tell me if 
that comment was true (or untrue) and/or provide me with any other information
on the subject?

Hopeful
