- The specs on the new atari falcon have got me thinking about selling
- either my mac, or my 486, or both. If I could bootstrap a gnu
- developments system I would be convinced to switch. Can this be done?
- Are there binaries available? How about the c libraries and include
- files? Also, what is this MiNT? Is it some kind of alternative
- unix-like operating system. Does minix for the ST run in protected
- mode? Does it use the virtual memory features of the 68030?
- Thanks in advance for any info which may serve to dispell my ignorance
- of atari computers.
