Do you only have a RAM expansion? If you have an MMU normal m68k linux will work for you. I have an a4000 running linux with an nvidia gpu ;) The drivers for the amiga filesystem etc all still work.
If you have the stock 020 we (me and the other people messing with this stuff) can make that work. the 68000 support needs one tiny thing, fixing the stack frame differences between the 000 and the 010+, and it'll boot on basically anything.
An a4000..wow my dream machine. I have an ACA1221lc[0] in there. A firm believer in real hardware. I really want an easy way of swapping out the cf card so I can make my fuzix port bootable and easily reflash the card.
For the moment I have a floppy disk that loads my network card drivers and then copies the kernel over the network into ram. That makes debugging things way easier than having to burn a floppy with every code change.

I already have patches to do it.
