At one time some Linux/m68k hacker was seriously looking into porting
Linux to a 3-CPU 256mb CDC which at that time was used as
ftp.uni-erlangen.de.
As usual the largest problem was technical documentation for the machine
and the CPU; the R6k is covered very badly by the freely available
documentation.
