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.
