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

+The &architecture; port of Linux runs on any 680x0 with a PMMU (Paged
+Memory Management Unit) and a FPU (floating-point unit).  This
+includes the 68020 with an external 68851 PMMU, the 68030, and better,
+and excludes the <quote>EC</quote> line of 680x0 processors.  See the
+<ulink url="&url-m68k-faq;">Linux/m68k FAQ</ulink> for complete details.

+
+There are four major flavors of supported
+<emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis> flavors: Amiga, Atari, Macintosh
+and VME machines.  Amiga and Atari were the first two systems to which
+Linux was ported; in keeping, they are also the two most
+well-supported Debian ports.  The Macintosh line is supported
+incompletely, both by Debian and by the Linux kernel; see
+<ulink url="&url-m68k-mac;">Linux m68k for Macintosh</ulink> for project
+status and supported hardware.  The BVM and Motorola single board
+VMEbus computers are the most recent addition to the list of machines
+supported by Debian.  Ports to other &architecture; architectures,
+such as the Sun3 architecture and NeXT black box, are underway but not
+yet supported by Debian.
