No, A/UX is not needed for MacX use.

A/UX is a very nice implementation of AT&T System V and if you have a
mac and want UNIX, I highly recommend it.  But if you don't need it,
don't worry about it.  What is nice about having it is it adds a layer
of security to the machine (i.e. if you only want certain people to be
able to use the lab, they will need an accout to use the mac).  Of
course you will have to disable the guest account.

Mike.

These opinions are my own, no one else will take them...
