- Minix works well on the A3000. I can recommend trying the demo version
- of Minix, to see for yourself. You can ftp the demo from ftp.cs.vu.nl,
- directory /pub/sreiz/minix. As for choosing between various Unix versions:
- Minix is the most simple alternative, it is relatively cheap, comes
- with full source code, and is available now.
