Quite so.  I started the chain, requested names, but did not intend
for multitudes of silly names to be posted, especially to .tech.  I
have since posted a request that any further name suggestions be
Emailed to me at shadow@pawl.rpi.edu, not posted.  I will probably
stick with "Amigix" however...  it's getting entrenched.  :-)

BZZZ.  Wrong answer!  *I* am working on the project to get Unix-like
syscalls and environment under Exec (not necessarily with AmigaDOS,
but will coexist with AmigaDOS nicely) and as such, I get the power to
be arbitrary and choose what I want.  As I said, it looks like it'll
be "Amigix".  But, enough of the cute names and bullshit...  With that
I agree.

Not Minix.  Someone else is doing a Minix port, but like with Amix,
you no longer have an Amiga when using that OS...  you just have a
Unix box.  Not good.  My project is to be based on Exec, and as such
will use standard Exec device drivers.

Fine.  Myself, I wouldn't dare try to write an Amiga based MS-DOS
emulator, but I DO want Unix (of a sort) on an Amiga.  Coexisting with
Exec and AmigaDOS.  (Though I hope to allow it to run standalone --
without AmigaDOS, but with Exec.)

Hope this clears things up a little.
