Linux for Amiga and C64

[kolla]

There is a linux/unix-like OS for the C64: http://lng.sourceforge.net/

Amiga 68k Linux needed an MMU so it was 030 or greater, versions of Debian and I think Yellow Dog were compiled for M68k/Amiga.

No, not Yellow Dog - YD is basically RedHat for PowerPC. Or was, it kind of took its own way at some point.

Today the only m68k distros alive is Debian and my own Gentoo/m68k project.

Debian still has a semiworking installer, I'm an elitist who dont believe in installers so with Gentoo you'd have to do everything manually :laughing:

For the Commodore 64 there is Lunix

There were a buttload of Lunix distros for the Amiga, 68k and PPC but I never followed it. Minix was an early one.

Neither Lunix nor Minix is Linux, and there really was just one distro ever that supported m68k and that was Debian. In addition there was a redhat based package repository maintained by Jes Sørensen, who also was chief m68k kernel dev for many years. Today Debian wants to get rid of old archs that delays releases, it was just barely along with Debian Etch, and there is no Debian Lenny for m68k. The kernel devs are considering alternatives.
