> Its kernel, libc, and much of its software is closed source, so when Commodore folded its story was over.

I am certain someone have the full source code somewhere, I just hope that they eventually say "f--k it, it has been 36 years, let the world have it".

> Did I mention it hasn't been updated in a decade? Put your Amiga UNIX machine on the net with no firewall and you may see it rooted faster than a Win98SE box running IE5.

I presume this was written back around 2005 or so, but honestly color me impressed if there has ever been malware targeting Amix in the wild.

Also, ouch :D

Should've been vim since it originated on Amiga.
Sharlin•50m ago
Huh, TIL. And that vim’s creator died in 2023, at only 63 :(
rob74•3m ago
It did indeed, but the original vim was developed for AmigaOS, not sure if there was an Amiga Unix version available...
mepian•56m ago
OpenLook is nice but it's a bit of a shame it doesn't have its own version of Workbench.

It's a bit strange to call Amiga Unix an "early Unix variant", if you consider that in 1990 Unix was already around 20 years old?
