Excerpt from uCLinux project:
"The Linux/Microcontroller project is a port of the Linux 2.0 to systems
without a Memory Management Unit. At present, only Motorola MC68000
derivatives are supported."
I've read that someone ran uCLinux on an Atari which is a basic 68k machine.
For more information, see http://www.uclinux.com
IMHO, uCLinux is a too large to fit into Ti-89. (uCLinux kernel for
palmpilot seems to take 1MB)
Another Unix-on-a-68k project is OMU, "One Man Unix".
