You think that Amigix (ugh!!) is the best??!? Best of what I've come up with so far is all. I don't really like the sound of Amigix either, but the others are worse. I really would've liked to have used Amix, but C-A took that. >How about Uniga for Unix Amiga. Or shorten it further to Unga. Amusing, but I don't really think it works any better... >How about UnixExec for Unix/Exec (Unix-over-Exec. Get it?) Not a bad thought, here... Except I might be asking for trouble by using "Unix" as even part of the name... Maybe "AmixExec"? Hmm... [after all, this WILL be Unix implemented on top of Exec...] >Unix/ADos? Or in the same vein as Xenix: Exenix for Exec-Unix. Or use >ADos in place of Exec and you get ADosnix or ADonix. Sorry, no. AmigaDOS has no place here. Eventually, I hope to write a filesystem for it as well. AmigaDOS will be initially used to access the disk, though that will be behind the scenes. AmigaDOS is NOT an essential piece here, and I hope to allow its use to be ompletely optional. Exec, on the other hand, IS an intergral piece of this system, hence "AmixExec" *might* be ok... But then, I don't know what Commodore-Amiga would think of my using that... Would that be asking for trouble also? >Or put 'em all together and you get ADosExenix (Adosexenix? Adosexnix?) Nah... Exenix is a little too like Xenix, and I never liked the sound of "Xenix" anyhow...
