I tried linux-mac68k perhaps a month ago and I had the opposite reaction
to the installation.  I believe that if I had not already been conversant
with Un*x and the NetBSD install process, I would have hadd a much more
difficult time.  I didn't bother running linux-mac68k long enough to make
any conclusions about the entire port itself.

Nevertheless, I think NetBSD stands apart from linux-68k in the quality
and availability of documentation.  With NetBSD, I followed the install
document and was up and running.  With linux-mac68k, I recall jumping all
around websites and ftp servers trying to put together all the necessary
pieces of information.
