Guy,

I tried Linuxm68k.  The installation process is IMO a bit nicer than the 
NetBSD way in that it is very similar to the way RedHat Linux is 
installed.  Overall though, I like NetBSD better. I was never able to get 
networking up and running on linuxm68k, and so I re-installed NetBSD.  
Perhaps I am not enough of a unix guy to have given it enough of a 
chance, but I like NetBSD much better
