Why with that multi-user resource-based AmigaOS 4.0 you're writing ;)

But seriously, there are a number of technical hurdles....  What to do with
Unix executables is the next question....  What about /dev stuff?  How would
you go about handling that 19meg data-file on your 18meg A3000 anyway? :)

Let's get Unix OUT (anyone know who to bug?), then worry about improving it.
