The A3000UX was an attempt by Commodore to break in to the University market wih a machine that not only ran the Amiga Operating System, but also ran Version 4 of Unix together with X Windows (the GUI interface). Unix is the big brother if you like of the often mentioned Linux. Unix is still used on many servers, including most Internet Service Providers running web servers. The A3000UX performed brilliantly in this environment and combined with its installed Ethernet card, made a popular option for Universities to purchase a low cost Unix machine, and a large number for sold for this purpose, although not many made into the real world.
