     There is some wild desktop presentation going on...  Dale Luck
has ported X11 over to the Amiga; black and white only right now.
It runs using an Ethernet card attached to the Amiga 500, 1000, or
2000.  I saw a demo with an Amiga 500 and 2000 netted to a Sun 2.
Everyone was running programs one place with display somewhere else.
The Xwindows `kernel' requires about 300K; fonts are extra.  Dale
wrote the graphics and layering libraries on the Amiga, and is now
a contract worker for Amiga-Commodore (as Dave Lucas would say).
His siganture is:

There is also a Unix Sys V.3 available for the Amiga.  It is a
serious start.  I'd buy a copy of Eiffel.
