These Amiga vs. Unix wars are getting a bit silly.  If you want UNIX, get
something like the Torch Triple X, not the Amiga.  The Torch was shown at
UniForum this week, and from what I have been told, it sounds real nice:

        68010, 68451 MMU, 68450 4 channel DMA, Ethernet controller,
        SCSI controller, 1 meg ram ( expandable to 7 meg ), 20 meg
        internal hard disk, 720k 5.25" floppy ( capable of reading
        IBM PC disks ), Bit mapped colour display ( 800x512 in high
        res mode ).

It has a windowing interface built on top of Unix:

        Windows, icons, menus, etc, all accessable from any Unix program.
        Complete System V + vi, csh.

Price is going to be under $5000 in the U.S. for the configuration mentioned
above.  If you want more info, try
