Silly me.  I've always thought that Lunix was a clever little notation for
the family of Unix and Linux type operating systems.  So I do a search on
Lunix on Google and I get over 13K hits.  (Many pages are in Russian btw.)
The number one hit?

About LNG
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.
