Actually, no distribution supports the Javastation out of the box. You need to build a custom kernel for it (as well as the proll stuff)... and you need to setup a bare filesystem, which in the case of debian is quite simple -- just grab a "base2_2.tgz" file like: ftp://zeus.kernel.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/base2_2.tgz untar it somewhere, and use it as instructed by the Javastation howto at http://javastation-howto.homeip.net/ ... you'll probably have to tweak a few things to make it happy, but it should be fairly straightforward. If you have trouble with this, let me know and I'll look at trying it myself... I have a RH6.2 setup that I did something similar to this with... and Debian looks to be simper to set up.
