In addition to Gulam, I would recommend MINIX for the ST.

Minix is a complete V7 Un*x operating system for the ST.  It has most of the
Un*x utilities and tools included and comes with an assembler and C compiler.

Minix uses the Bourne shell for the user-interface.  One possible quirk is that
the Minix operating system is different from TOS, so you cannot run normal ST
programs with it. However, it is a very good replacement for TOS.

Minix sells for about $80 US and comes with complete sources.

An additional bonus is that Minix is fully multitasking.

Peter.
