You should be able to run Linux/mac68k or NetBSD on it, depending on the
actual model.  You can check the machine status pages at

    http://maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net/status/  and

    http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/machine-status/

to see if your model is supported.  The projects themselves can be found
at

    http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/  and

    http://www.netbsd.org/

respectively.
