Although I am a professional C/C++ developer (on mostly intel systems), I enjoy using the Amiga and Linux- fewer snobs, better ideas, and more fun.... When one breaks away from the microsoft mentality, they find a world where people actually share their work, advancing the state-of-the-art; and having fun while doing it !!
Please consult the m68k Linux Home Pages for a history of m68k Linux development.
The RedHat and Debian m68k Linux distributions are the result of an incredible amount of dedicated work on the part of a few individuals. I cannot claim credit for any of this. My contribution has been to research, document, and share my findings with the rest of the Amiga community (after the fact ).
To the best of my knowledge,
most of the RedHat m68k Linux work was done by Jes Sorensen.
