Linux mac68k port is still a vaporware at large, or was last time I
took a look at their Web page, but there are several other ports to
Amiga, Motorola VME boards, etc.  I just saw a periodic post of Linux
m68k FAQ on comp.sys.m68k, and it says there are a few more coming
(incl.  mac68k and sun3).

BTW, I don't keep the URL of the Linux mac68k team, but I remember
their information on NetBSD was quite out of date.  They say they are
porting Linux because, for instance, NetBSD doesn't do IP
masquerading...

Doesn't COMPAT_SUNOS work on both sparc and m68k? (no, I'm just
asking...)
