MacMinix will run fine on those, but there's not a whole lot you can do 
with it.

With a sufficiently powerful powerbook ('030 or higher recommended, 
something like a Duo 270c might be about perfect), you can run a full 
Linux. Debian is the current (and only, afaik) distro with 68k support, it 
might even run on a SE/30 with a 32 bit clean ROM. I wouldn't want to see X 
on an SE/30, but ymmv :)
