...bit later than that, back when I was living in manchester, I 
dual-booted Debian/m68k and then Debian/ppc on an 060/PPC/Permedia2 
Amiga.  ixemul.library (cygwin like thing) also existed for AmigaOS, so
I didn't move to linux on the Amiga until quite late really, when the 
m68k port was becoming quite mature (early 2.0 kernel).

Nice machine, but wound up selling it to get a k6 PC for uni coursework 
compatibility - a definite downgrade at the time, but fortunately could 
at least stick x86 linux on it.
