Any Unix-like aspect in AmigaOS?
« on: May 26, 2009, 02:18:04 AM »
I found this page.

It says

In 1985, the Amiga was, conceptually, a Unix-like workstation that could run on custom, inexpensive hardware while still offering cutting-edge multimedia capabilities.


I only have a very basic grasp on what Unix(-like) is.

Is AmigaOS that we know of really a Unix-like operating system?

I wonder.

Wow, there are so many things to know about UNIX and Amiga. Perhaps we have a lot to learn about everything to understand Amiga. No worries, this is still a good motivation to understand Amiga.

In another thread, AmigaMan said something like

You will also need to rewrite kickstart, but that had to be done anyway. Kickstart is unix based, so start from there with Amiga in mind.


Thank you, AmigaMan. :)
