Lots, but it depends on what you're looking for. MiNT and MiNTnet will
give you an almost-UNIX operating system which can use long filenames,
true pre-emptive multitasking, multi-users and a full BSD-style network
complete with IRC client, ftp, telnet etc. It's not a light-hearted
system to play with by any means, as you do need some UNIX knowledge to
get the best from it. Still, it's there if anyone wants to play with a
UNIXalike system but can't run Linux.

ATB, Frank.
