That is a pretty good board. But watch out for the ZIF socket!
I've got two boards: One PILOT and one REV-B. Only the REV-B works.

That version has not much ADS860 support, but I've made a patch
that is floating around. Check previous messages!
You also need to apply a low-memory patch if you
want to be able to do something.
Check the archives there too.
This site has info about booting and stuff.
http://www.s4l.de/powerpc.html
You will probably need 8xxrom to boot your board.

Well, that's me!
I am actually running Linux on a ADS860 right now, trying out
my PCMCIA socket driver for the mpc8xx series.
Most things work, but I have not released the driver yet.
I plan doing so next week or so.
The driver will be as a patch against David Hinds pcmcia-cs package.

If you patch and replace glibc it should be possible.
You probably need heaps of memory, though.
We crosscompile the programs we need.
Good luck /
