Amiga Unix, Again
Amiga Unix — Amix — was Commodore's System V Release 4 for the Amiga: shipped in 1990–92 for the A2500UX and A3000UX, then left where it stood. amigaux.org is an unofficial community project that picks it up again: Amix on 68040 and 68060 machines and on today's accelerator hardware, with a modern toolchain, a package manager, and drivers for cards that never had any. The work is done in the open, and written down as it happens in the grimoire .
The install medium boots from floppy and CD-ROM on real hardware — floppy image and ISO under emulation — and takes care of the whole installation, interactively or unattended. With supported hardware, getting Amix onto a machine comes down to following the prompts. The classic tape install follows later.
