Ive run Debian on pretty much everything from a p690 down to a B80. These days the only big issue is the kernel. I tend to tack a debian install root image onto a ppc64 kernel and tftp boot it. Unfortunately it whinges a bit (kernel version doesnt match the root image etc) but you can force it on. Im looking forwards to the new install system so I can build proper ppc64 install CDs. I tried to do it with the current boot floppies but got incredibly lost. Anton
