Has anyone bothered to think about writing a non-VM unix for the Amiga?
Buying a 68020/851 card for the 2000 just to run unix seems like a waste
to me.  Also, if it indeed requires 100Meg disk (and can't be pruned down
to say... 10Meg) it will indeed be out of my league (I have no problem
leaving find/uucp/vi/uncompress/etc. on floppy).

I don't think (could be wrong) that Xenix requires any sort of special
hardware (or gobs of file space).  Therefore, why is Commodore writing
a version that will be so expensive to use?  It would be real smart of
them to write a version that will work with or without the
extra card.

And again, I my just wait for someone to port MINIX and then I'll be halfway
there...
