I think perhaps NetBSD is the most up to date Unix-like OS for m68k Amigas.

Any modern Linux distro will be painfully slow on a classic Amiga, even equipped with PPC, if you intend on running a KDE or Gnome desktop. I have CentOS5 on my laptop, and it uses about 450MB RAM. Any less than that and you'll have heavy disk swapping, and a very unpleasant experience.
