UNIX is a program-O/S interface. The latest bunch of swiss-army-knife
implementations are pretty big, but that's not a useful way to define UNIX.

Once upon a time I was using a UNIX system with less horsepower and less
RAM than an Amiga, shared with 8 other people. Tell me how small and
compact AmigaOS is.

The semantic difference between AmigaOS and UNIX is very small. And apart
from fork(), all the advantages are on the side of UNIX.
