Description: General CPU specs
The MC68030 is an improved 68020 with a paged MMU and 0.5K L1 cache. It does not have a FPU or L2 cache.
Core frequencies range from 16 to 25 mHz (aprox 5 BogoMips), it has an anynchronous 8/16/32 bit databus and supports VM management. Note the MC68EC030 is a 68030 without paged MMU. EOL was reached in 1992, IIRC.

Kernel (uname -r): 1.6
Distribution: NetBSD



Linux compatability
The 68030 is not Linux compatible because it lacks an FPU (so no Debian 2.x) and no "68k"-supporting distributions remain.

BSD compatibility
The 68030 is known to be BSD-compatible because NetBSD still supports the architecture (thanks!) and provides necessary FPU emu.
