Debian 11.x = bullseye, is the latest versions. The version for M68K is
called "bookworm/sid", the testing version.

Untill recently there was no support for m68K as the Architecture couldnt
keep up with all the changes. It's now what's called a "port", and not on
the official port. See https://www.debian.org/ports/

Seeking the CPU's! For example there are now adapter boards to make a
68060 cpu fit into a 68040 scoket. There is only minor differences
between the two cpu's.
