OK OK, looks like I have to do the upgrade to 2.6 to get on this list
(currently running a self-compiled 2.4.30, with just the drivers I need
to have the smallest kernel footprint for the 16M RAM on my A2000) but I
do run popularity contest, so the common m68k packages that I use daily
should show up (mutt, apache, etc).  

Also, I have found that NFS works nicely between my A2000 and my PC
linux box, thought you typically don't want to burn the RAM on the 8
processes it is going to default to.  Apache, there are some ways to get
it to not use up all the RAM resources of the system too.  If anyone is
interested, I could put together a list of apps that I have configured
to make the Amiga still be a useful box?
