Linux/m68k 2.4.x runs on some platforms. Also note that Linux/m68k is not 100% merged with Linus/Alan yet. The mac-specific patches in the m68k tree that weren't merged are on hold until all issues are sorted out[*], cfr. the linux-m68k list.
Note to Wakko: feel free to join the project! As usual, we can use the manpower!!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that. -- Linus Torvalds
