Running Linux on the Rabbit?

www.z88dk.org has initial Rabbit support in their
latest release. I noticed a beta of it about 5 months
ago.
WikiPage (Not sure how out of date it is though):

Also, here's a link to a Rabbit SDCC port (2003
vintage):

LinLike8 might be a good starting point for a
Linux-Like OS:

A nice DOS shell-like environment would be workable
too...
