I'm used it a bit and am mostly happy with it. There are a lot of UNIX-like
utilities that come as a part of it and I appreciate the ability to
run 'gem' programs. Beckmeyer (and his BBS) are very approachable.
There are a few bugs (but what else is new :-). I recommend it.

On the other hand, MINIX will be out for the ST within a few months (I
think) so you might want to wait depending on if you care about being
able to run GEM programs under your "shell". Actually, I assume I'll
be using both eventually.
