Here's another interesting link:

http://dmitry.co/index.php?p=./04.Thoughts/07.%20Linux%20on%208bit

It's from a guy who claims to have got Gnu/Linux running on an 8 bit
AVR micro-controller! He did this by using an SD card for storage, and
then writing an ARM emulator so the 8 bit AVR processor looks like an
ARM processor.

It runs a bit slow, but that is no big surprise considering that he's
working with a 20Mhz processor. He also created a YouTube video where
he connects with it over Minicom, which is rather interesting to
watch, though he moves the camera quite often which is rather annoying:
