To the best of my knowledge, a version of Linux without MMU won't be
developed.

You CAN network an Amiga to a Linux machine to access the internet (I
have a Slackware firewall and can access the internet with my A4000.)

NOTE: you'll have to rebuild your Linux kernel to include IP
Masquerading so both machines can access the internet through a single
modem (unless you have been ASSIGNED multiple IP addresses for your
network.)  A FAQ is available to describe how to set up your Linux
kernel.

I use AmiTCP (demo version available from AmiNet) for my TCP/IP stack,
but others probably work as well.  AmiNet also has additional software
for networking available.

For my browser, I use IBrowse (demo available from OmniPresence
International).  Again, others should work fine.

AmiNet also has alot of networking software available (mailers, ftp,
etc.)

Check out AmiNet at http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet
and OmniPresence at http://www.omnipresence.com.

Hope this helps... Kevin
