There's also uCLinux, http://www.uclinux.org/ . Although aimed at
microcontrollers, it's main purpose is to run on 68000s with no MMU or
FPU. It works, though there's no Mac-specific stuff and therefore would
probably take a good bit of work to get running on a Plus or the like.

There's a sort-of *nix called MacMinix that IIRC works on a Plus.  I
don't think any true *nixen will work on any of the 68000-based Macs,
however, because they're all 24-bit machines and *nix requires 32-bit
capability.
