Maybe OpenRISC CPU? There is a Debian Linux based distro in the 
works...and OpenRISC is officially supported in the Linux kernel now I 
believe.

It's a very nice modern RISC processor with MMU, and all the modern 
conveniences. Runs on an FPGA. All Open Source.

I've gotten one running on a DE0-Nano FPGA board with a single FPGA UART 
peripheral....boots linux in a minimal config, and runs nicely on the 
DE0-Nano.
