" OLR is the Oberon System [3] with Gadgets* running natively *on the Linux
Kernel of X86, RISC-V, MIPS and ARM processors. "

* what version(s) of Oberon does it run?

 " Oberon System [3] with Gadgets. "
" Basis of the system is the latest Alpha of PC Native Oberon of ETH
Zürich."

* what are the Linux system requirements?

"
- X86, ARMv7, RISC-V and MIPS should be able to compile all targets. Due to
compiler limitations, ARM only can compile itself.
- Network does not work"

* how complete/finished is it?

" OLR will likely not get much more development. I am currently evaluating
porting Project Oberon to ARM32 Linux and WebAssembly. "

All answer extracted from Peter Mathias' Oberon Linux Revival:
http://oberon.wikidot.com/oberon-linux-revival-olr

I'm using OLR under Ubuntu 18 on a VM on Win10; I also have OLR working in
Raspi3 (Raspian). I did not try Qemu with any, nor RISC-V nor MIPS versions.

And his other Project Oberon / Linux is:
" a port of Project Oberon <http://www.projectoberon.com/> to Linux on
ARMv7 (32Bit), RISC-V (32Bit) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V> and
MIPS32 CPUs. All *native versions* run well via qemu on all other
architectures. "

I also have running this on Raspi3.
