I’d add “… and released m68k port _any more_” here, since it used to be and people hope it will eventually become one. >@@ -20,10 +22,31 @@ > <h2>Status</h2> > > <p>The Debian m68k port was first officially released with Debian 2.0 >-(hamm).</p> >+(hamm) and was an official port until Debian 4.0 (etch).

At least for some time. I don’t promise I stick with m68k for long, but it peeked my interest, and I’m learning a lot. Rest looks good too.
