Nador,

It is not possible to run Debian (or any Linux) on an Amiga 500 that
has not had it's processor upgraded.  A m68000 is not going to work.

There are many upgrade cards available for Amiga 500 -

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/a500proc

The best place to look for something like those listed would be eBay.
Another place would be the Usenet Newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.marketplace.

Remember that the Amiga 500 is around 15yrs old, so coming across any
new parts would be extremely rare.

Good luck!
