If you'd come to the Linux Expo at Olympia - you would have seen Debian 
on a Sparc :) [Admittedly, an old Sparc20]  Feel free to ask any 
questions that are appropriate at any Debian stand at any exhibition.

If they'd wanted it as a demo. - they could have had the same 
distribution on my Alpha PWS 433

Debian _do_ have Alpha and Sparc developers and they keep things well
up to date.

I can, however, sympathise with XFree86 problems.

Have fun with Debian and apt-get  - the initial install's the worst part 
:)
