LUnix (short for: little UNIX) was a experimental[1] open-source UNIX-like operating system developed by Daniel Dallmann and the LNG Community for the Commodore 64. First released in 1994, it was a UNIX-like OS created for the purpose of running UNIX (or something similar to UNIX) on a Commodore 64 with no hardware expansions until its development was stopped in 2004.[2]

History

LUnix was first released in 1994 by Daniel Dallman. Its last version was 0.21, which was released on September 2004, before the project was stopped.[3]

Features

LUnix tries to provide a UNIX-like environment for the Commodore 64. It can handle up to 32 processes, and it cannot swap out stopped processes, which means that all of them need to fit in the main memory at once. It has limited preemptive multitasking and also limited network and internet abilities. [source?]

Reception

LUnix was a small project, so it did not get much reception at all. However, it was still popular enough to have a fork of it for the Famicom[4]
