   For standard System V Unix, the system requirements are a bit much.
   Same for BSD.  Not so for Unix Version 7.  It's small and elegant.
   All current versions of Unix are derived from it.  It has most of the
   major concepts that make Unix so successful.  Minix is a complete
   reimplementation (a much cleaner one) of Unix V7, distributed with
   source code.  [As Unix itself was, long ago.]

And you don't need a reasonable amount of disk/memory to make AmigaDOS
useable??? Hah! Next time you can work *PROPERLY* with less than 1meg and
a 20meg HD let me know, I'd be interested in how you did it..
