Has anyone had any experience with either of these products, or made some
sort of comparison?  Each seems to have its own merits, but are there any
serious problems with one or the other? Kudos? Flames?

(A/UX and MachTen are UNIX implementations for the Macintosh.)
{A/UX is a System V - BSD hybrid, requires 68030 w/PMMU (or 040) (32 bit mode) 
 & special disk formatting.  It runs Mac OS as a UNIX process.
 MachTen is BSD (Carnegie Mellon Mach kernel), runs on 68000 - 040, using
 native mac file system.  It runs as a Mac application.}

Email or post replies - will summarize if helpful.
