Interesting that work still continues (or has been restarted) on Debian Linux for 68k computers.  Don't know if I will ever try it out on any of my 68060 equipped Amigas, but might try it out some day just to see what it looks like.  Thanks for your work on reviving something that we can enjoy on our old 68k Amiga hardware.

One question though, AmigaOS3.1 or 3.9 with tons of Amiga programs as well, easily fits on hard drives only 1gb in size.  Is Debian 68k really so large that it needs >4gb of hard drive space to be installed and have room for a few programs?

If the OS and program files are so large to need that much hard disk space, how can it run fast enough on a slow system, such as a 68020 Amiga, or Atari?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
