- Yes. Both NetBSD and Linux have been ported to the Amiga - actually also
- the first completed port for the MC68030 was done for the A3000. All need
- a 68030 or better processor - and Amiga Unix (if you can find it) won't run
- on an A4000.
-
- There is also Minix (from Prentice-Hall) that is an AT&T free re-implementation
- of Unix Version 7. This will run on any Amiga (I've run it on my A1000 and
- my A3000)
