Purpose
The purpose of this page is to demonstrate that m68k meets the architecture recertification criteria for lenny.
If some of these requirements are irrelevant or implausible for the port, please add a waiver request indicating why and how this isn't a problem for the arch in bold.
Availability
The architecture is publicly available without NDAs via:
Developer machines
The following machines are available to developers:
crest.debian.org - maintained by DSA, hosted at NMMN
kullervo.debian.org - maintained by DSA, hosted at NMMN, account on request.
hades.nemesisnetworks.com - maintained by Michael Casadevall, hosted at Rochester Institue of Technology, account on request

Users
The port is being actively used at the following sites:
http://www.buildd.net/cgi/archvote.phtml lists >120 users
regarding to http://lists.debian.org/stats/: 210 subscribers in 2007-11
http://nemesisnetworks.com - hosts three m68k boxes.
