[http://allegro.nce.ufrj.br/tropix/index.html TROPIX] got it's start after UFRJ could not secure a source license to AT&T UNIX. So they decided to write their own. Using a Version 7 68000 machine, they were able to clone out their own system. For a while the project seemed dead with the mainstream arrival of Linux, however there has been some new activity on the TROPIX front.

 fortune seems to be the coolest program so far.  coremap is pretty neat too.  The C compiler seems to be based on GCC, they did write their own assembler, linker.. It's a very strange system.
