The only Unix on PowerMac is from Tenon Systems. It's called MachTen. It is BSD Unix running in a window as a Mac application. It's good. It's easy to install, comes on a single CD, comes with X Windows which works with no problems and has good support. Check they're web page. Sorry that I don't have it handy but I guess it's www.tenon.com. Bad things about it: $700 No Korn shell!!!! You can't read Unix formatted floppies!! $700 +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Marc Respass mer@sol.iii.net | | http://www.iii.net/users/mer/ | +==========================================================+ | Check out the Joel Rivard Group home page at | | http://www.iii.net/users/mer/joelpage.html | +----------------------------------------------------------+
