According to the 68k machine status page:
<http://maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net/status/>
This Mac is indeed fully supported. Now unless there's something
strange about your Mac - like for example, some evil swine has
swapped the 950's 68040 cpu for an 68LC040 cpu? Then I can't see that
there should be any issue with running a 68k Debian on this machine.
Best bet would be to go to the m68k Linux pages at:
<http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/> then go over (and over) the linked
documentation pages, especially their comprehensive Debian install
guides. Check sections on disk partitioning and making a boot loader.
A (really) nice example of a Quadra being used as a Linux Server is
at Dana's Danamania pages (it's what delivers her web pages), check
this out:
