In response to the many questions about Mach Ten:

Tenon's Mach Ten is Unix for the entire Macintosh family.  It is Berkeley
4.3BSD running on a Mach kernel, with NFS, TCP/IP.  The Mach we used
is version 2.5.  The Berkeley 4.3 has some Reno enhancements:
TCP and NFS from Reno.  Mach Ten extends MacOS.
This means that network and disk controllers and peripheral devices that
are supported by MacOS will be supported under Mach Ten with no additional
software.  Further, the underlying file system is the MacOS file system.
Mach Ten is a multiwindow, multiuser, multitasking system.  Macintosh
applications and Unix application run at the same time.  Mach Ten does
not run under MultiFinder; it replaces MultiFinder.  Programs run under
the control of the Mach kernel which provides preemptive scheduling of
Macintosh and Unix applications.

The Mach Ten Kernel System will be available in February.  In the second
quarter, Tenon will release the Mach Ten Development System which will
have the GNU C compiler and Unix software development tools.  

A 4MB RAM and 40MB hard disk configuration is recommended.  Since Mach Ten
supports both server and client NFS, systems can be configured with remote  
disks, further reducing the local system disk requirements.

The beta reviews referenced must refer to another product.  Mach Ten is
just now entering beta.
