Hi, all,
NetBSD 5.0.2 just came out. If you'd like to run it on your '040 Mac but want it to run the best it can, I have made sets compiled with -m68040 optimizations. Things like ssh run faster since the compiler uses '040 specific instructions like 64 bit integer multiplies and so on. The difference between non-optimized and optimized on the same machine isn't significant (not nearly as significant as '060 optimization), but in general is good for around 5%, and we all know every bit counts.
The sets are available here:
ftp://ftp.mac68k.org/pub/NetBSD/5.0.2/mac68k-m68040/
Enjoy!
