Different Linux and NetBSD distributions/versions, Amix and few
debugging tools that require MMU have been tested in WinUAE using 68030
emulation. No problems found.
"Unfortunately" most Unix-like operating systems use 68030 like it is
68040/060 (which have very simple MMU compared to 68030) and don't use
68030-only (and 68851) really weird MMU features.
Next probably is the only OS that uses 68030 MMU features very heavily.
It also does work fine.
