From the Linux m68k FAQ. Advocacy or fact? ;-)

Porting Linux/m68k to my system is useless because there is *BSD for my
system

False. Linux has many features that make it preferable to NetBSD or
OpenBSD. The most impressive feature is that there is virtually no
Berkeley code in the kernel: it is written from the ground up to comply
with POSIX and other standards (XPG, SVID, etc.), and work is underway to
make it a "branded" Unix. And we're pretty nice to one another too, which
doesn't hurt.

Linux is also highly popular on Intel platforms (to a much greater degree
than BSD). This popularity, combined with 99.9% source compatibility,
means that virtually any program that runs on Linux/i386 (and doesn't use
any inherently non-portable features like SVGAlib) can be compiled and run
on Linux/m68k. It also means that you can walk into virtually any
bookstore and buy a book specifically about your OS (try that with
AmigaOS!).
