Complete information concerning supported M68000 based
8
(<emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis>) systems can be found at the

<ulink url="&url-m68k-faq;">Linux/m68k FAQ</ulink>. This section merely
14
The &architecture; port of Linux runs on any 680x0 with a PMMU (Paged
15
Memory Management Unit) and a FPU (floating-point unit). This
16
includes the 68020 with an external 68851 PMMU, the 68030, and better,
17
and excludes the <quote>EC</quote> line of 680x0 processors. See the
18
<ulink url="&url-m68k-faq;">Linux/m68k FAQ</ulink> for complete details.
22
There are four major flavors of supported
23
<emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis> flavors: Amiga, Atari, Macintosh
24
and VME machines. Amiga and Atari were the first two systems to which
25
Linux was ported; in keeping, they are also the two most
26
well-supported Debian ports. The Macintosh line is supported
27
incompletely, both by Debian and by the Linux kernel; see
28
<ulink url="&url-m68k-mac;">Linux m68k for Macintosh</ulink> for project
29
status and supported hardware. The BVM and Motorola single board
30
VMEbus computers are the most recent addition to the list of machines
31
supported by Debian. Ports to other &architecture; architectures,
32
such as the Sun3 architecture and NeXT black box, are underway but not
33
yet supported by Debian.
