I'm considering buying an Apple for my wife and I wonder if anyone could
answer a few questions:

1) Can A/UX run the programs written for the standard Apple OS?

if not:

2) Can I set up two boot partitions so that she can boot it under the
   regular Apple OS, and I can boot it under A/UX?

3) How much space does A/UX take up?

4) Is A/UX like SVR4 or BSD, or does it have bits of both. What good bits
   from SVR4 and BSD is it missing?

Thanks

James
