Rogério Be careful - there are differences in the processors used in the DNS range. A couple of years ago I bought a DNS 313 (mistakenly) when I really wanted a 323. I was initially not able to install Debian on the 313 in quite the way I wanted, but fortunately I found a site which helped me out (http://forum.dsmg600.info/) That site also seems to have advice on the Kirkwood based 320 you are considering. I wrote about using "Charmainbaer's" Lenny tarball on my 313 at http://baldric.net/2009/10/03/debian-on-a-dns-313/ Good luck.
