What is Linux/m68k?

Linux/m68k is the port of the Linux operating system to run on systems using Motorola's 68020,
68030, 68040 and 68060 microprocessors. Linux/m68k, like other Linux
ports, is source compatible with Linux on other platforms. Current
releases of the m68k kernel are stable on the Amiga, Atari, many Apple Macintosh models, and
several VMEbus
single-board computers from BVM, Motorola and Tadpole.
In addition, ports are underway (with varying levels of progress) to
the HP
9000/300 series, the NeXT workstation (black
hardware), the Q40 and
Q60, and Sun 3
series workstations.

The Linux/m68k project serves as a repository and resource hub for the Linux operating system ported to run on systems utilizing Motorola's 68020, 68030, 68040, and 68060 microprocessors. The project emphasizes source compatibility with other Linux platforms, noting that current releases of the m68k kernel are stable on systems such as the Amiga, Atari, many Apple Macintosh models, and various VMEbus single-board computers from manufacturers like BVM, Motorola, and Tadpole. Furthermore, ongoing porting efforts are underway for various peripheral systems, including the HP 9000/300 series, the NeXT workstation (black hardware), the Q40 and Q60 systems, and Sun 3 series workstations.

The website is structured to provide comprehensive access to various facets of the Linux/m68k ecosystem. Information is organized into distinct categories, including news regarding current kernel releases and usage statistics, extensive informational resources such as Frequently Asked Questions, announcements related to version 2.0, and various HOWTO guides for Linux. Distribution information is also provided, including guides and details on the available Linux/m68k distributions, alongside links to external resources concerning Linux and its supporting hardware. The site further facilitates community interaction through links to mailing lists, newsgroups dedicated to Linux and Unix-on-m68k topics, and book recommendations pertinent to Linux and related subjects.

The site also functions as a gateway to external resources, offering links to mirror sites for faster access, FTP sites for related materials, and other cool sites showcasing programs running under Linux. The overall structure aims to serve users seeking technical details, installation guidance, community engagement, and further exploration of the broader Linux and m68k computing landscape. The page also includes administrative notes regarding linking and user suggestions, reflecting an effort to manage and expand the community contributions.
