Hi The problem I encountered with Debian on my 3300 is the built in graphics chip the S3 Trio 64.
I could not get Xwindows and that to agreee with each other at all. It ran fine as long as you did not want X windows. I have since found out you can disable the onboard graphics by changing the jumper J27. I have a Matrox Millenium I am going to try in it and see if I get anywhere with that.
