No!

Remember ucLinux, the port of Linux to architectures without an MMU.
Including 68k. Of course the biggest problem will be getting hardware

[for the record, I do think its a dumb idea, and I don't run Linux on my
Mac. I don't even run OS X because I think its slow, bloated, a bad
MacOS, a worse UNIX and it doesn't run any of the software I use under
OS 9]
