Linux is the way. Although I still have the winblows installed because of the superior WINUae. I recommend any Ubuntu flavor, it has a perfect online packet manager and very user friendly. My personal preference is the Xubuntu because it's lightweight.

You need at least a 68030 cpu to install linux on your A1200 (it needs the MMU). AFAIK, the most up-to-date 68k port of linux is the debian one, although it's future seems uncertain at the moment.

There's a discussion going on in the 68k debian mailing list for future directions. I didn't read it fully, but it seems there's disaggreement between the developers as to which way to take. Some options include, providing coldfire support, staying pure m68, supporting emulation (aranym ?) and stuff like that. Also, debian management doesn't seem to like the fact that 68k port can't keep up with the x86 releases (which is pretty normal I think). I hope they don't stop supporting the m68k.
