Here's what was submitted to Ralf Baechle for the Linux/MIPS FAQ. Names and dates were removed for the sake of brevity and the context (sorry, Vincent). I thought we could always add the illustrious history later when the port's further along.
<sect2>Debian<p> A Debian port is underway. Current efforts are being bootstrapped using SGI/Linux as a base, and dpkg compiles natively with few changes. In addition to the SGI version, some interest has been shown in little endian platforms. Keep an eye on the Debian-MIPS Port page, <url url="http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/";> for developments. Keep an eye on http://www.linux.sgi.com/mips/ for the updated FAQ (it's not there yet). Regards, Mike
