Does anyone have a full internet connection from his 68k machine?
 
Also I'd like to know if anyone could tell me how the speed is compared to
Intel architectures.

Hi,

> Does anyone have a full internet connection from his 68k machine?

Not yet - but I might soon install a Debian/m68k system on an Amiga 3000
here at our university which is connected - but I don't think its owner
(our 'root') will allow very much other users on that machine besides
me..

The standard comparison is a kernel make: 2.0.8, including make dep and
make, but WITHOUT making modules, takes about 3 hours 30 minutes on my
68030 @ 25 MHz, 12 MB Ram. And you thought your 486 machines were slow! :-)

Replace the '030 board by a bad '040 design (A3640) and you only halve that
time to a bit less than 2 hours.

P133, 32MB EDO needs 6'30"...
