Is it possible to run linux on stock Falcon?
No.

Does the 14MB RAM update help?
Only for very old versions of Debian (pre-systemd).

When Falcon is equipped with CT60e + 512MB is there use of that 14MB additional RAM?

Yes - if loading the kernel to that section of RAM. You probably don't want to do that.

Some of the ST-RAM is still used when loading the kernel to the 512 MB FastRAM section (for drivers that require ST-RAM either as DMA buffer or video RAM). The rest is unused - recent patches to change the m68k memory model ought to make it easier to use the ST-RAM as system RAM, but there's still some bits missing.

Hello,

i can confirm that both, EtherNec (aka NetUSBee) and EtherNat work for
Debian. NetBSD only supports EtherNec. SVEthLanA only works in TOS/MiNT.

kind regards,
Stefan
