Closest I ever saw anything like Unix or Linux on a GS was GNO.

Doesn't Anix run on the GS ?

Sure, but it's not the closest that I ever saw like Unix or Linux.

Not nearly as many neat features.

No shell really is. The closest IMHO, would be the Aztec C shell. Even still, pipes are a problem, although some redirection is allowed. You can install the Phade utilities for better functionality.

The HyperC shell isn't too bad either but requires a patch to run properly on the GS. There is an alternate shell for it as well called Opix.

IMHO, Gno/me is the best option for the GS. There are quite a few add on utilities available and documentation.
