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
