There's a Debian 8 (Jessie) guide on the Wiki.

Agreed, Debian 9 (Stretch) is minimal version now, so I cannot
recommend Jhon's Debian 6 (Squeeze) method as it is unsupported and
has security vulnerabilities. It should be updated to Stretch.
Squeeze? :-/ That's Debian 6, which was supported until Feb 2016.
That doesn't help much. Also you don't say what model XO this is for.
I'd be very interested in a Debian 9 builder that one could install with
the game buttons on XO1 and 1.5. There are still many of those in Peru.
