Considering that your question was the first post in over a month
it sure *looks* dead.
But you never know. All groups are what we make them.
68k is pretty obsolete by today's standards.
I haven't tried Linux on a 68k Mac myself in over 5 years.

I was making use of it quite a bit when installing Debian v3r1 on
my Amiga A3000. Got a few questions answered quite quickly.

Debian runs just fine on my A3000. Need to get used to the glacial
speeds though - quite different than the dual p3 and Power4 boxes
I am used to in the office.
Still in search of an X drier for the A2410 - need source code
from the Commodore version of SysVR4 that was originally released
in 1993 for the A3000...

there is some old fashioned late 20th century
community spirit as well as internationalism
appropriate to today.
but i still subscribe to this newsgroup as do
some others, and will reply if i feel i have anything
to contribute. although because it is more
of a spam attractor i am less likely to post.
i like the old 68k mac even though it is very slow,
it teaches me and when i am stuck elsewhere
i would turn to it for it forces me to concentrate
on the basics.
debian is struggling though these days so no
telling about the future, i have considering
also netbsd which supports ancient and old macs
too. i know of no other linux distro for 68k now
other than debian.
