I don't think there are any for the 8-bit Apple IIs, but for the 16-bit Apple
IIgs, there's GNO/ME unix:

I actually ran this on my IIgs; it was cute, and quite usable considering the
limitations of the hardware. I don't know anything about its provenance,
though.
Anyone else run GNO/ME? Anyone know if it was based on some previous source
base or distribution? Or know the folks behind it?
I know that a lot of the code bears the 4-clause BSD license. So maybe
it's based on 4.4BSD, but with some parts rewritten?
