Commodore 64 Can Be Used Today - LUnix Runs On It!

From LUnix The next generation website:

" LNG is an operationg system primarly for the good old Commodore64 home-computer. There also is a native version for the successor Commodore128. Ports to other 6502/6510 driven 8Bit Computers are possible but not yet started. LUnix started in 1993 and reached the internet in 1994. In 1997 LUnix0.1 was rewritten from scratch, the result is LNG."

From Wikepdia:

"LUnix (unofficially, Little Unix) is a Unix-like operating system for the Commodore 64, a popular home computer of the 1980s. It supports TCP/IP networking (SLIP or PPP using an RS232 interface). Unlike most Unix-like systems, LUnix is written in 6502 assembly language instead of C (though there is a compiler for a subset of the language, called cc65).

OS-9 was similarly written (commercially by Microware) as a UNIX-like operating system, implemented in native-code, not C, for the 6809 microprocessor."
