Hmm, I suspect there are a number of years separating you two during your 
"college years".   But just to thow in my .5 cents, when I went to college
I had an IBM XT clone.  When I got it (just to put it in perspective), 10       
months later they came out with the PS/2 series.  I still have that XT with
that 20MB harddive (yes it still works).  The next computer I bought was a
Quadra 650 (that's why I'm here). I bought that Quadra about a year ago.

But I digress...                                                                
 I've been looking around for a public domain Unix that will run on my
Quadra.  Now I thought MacLinux was gonna be it, but that turned out to be a
big joke.  I like so many are looking and waiting patientely (since my   
programming skills in a Unix environment are limited I can only sit and watch).
So my question:

Is there a group working on Unix for the 68040?  If so, how soon will a 
beta version be out for the general public?
