Hmmm... Well Commodore has already done this.  Actually, it is System V R4.1.
It is a full implementation.  Nothing has been left out.  It's like Prego spaghetti
sauce.  If you want a feature, "It's in there!".  They should be releasing it
within a couple of months.

Well, hey, if you want unix, you gotta pay 8-(  Think of the cost of unix software
too.  You're no longer talking small change here.  Commodore has done the right
thing, in that they are going to bundle a bunch of stuff with their unix release.
It also won't be very expensive from what I've heard...
