Couldn't you install linux on the cisco 2500s Im pretty sure at some
time I got that to work so I could get SSH on them.

Cisco 2500 series used a 68EC030, which is a dumbed-down 68030 with no
MMU.  The Linux m68k project always required an MMU, so it would not run
on that CPU.

There was some attempt to do an MMU-less Linux kernel fork at one point,
but I don't know if that included any m68k effort (or if it really went
anywhere).
