Debian on iSeries (Power5 CPU)

[Fraser Campbell <fraser@georgetown.wehave.net>]

Hi,

I have a customer who wants assistance installing SuSe on a partition of his 
I5.  I will help him of course but I would much rather install Debian.  The 
particular server is the I5 model 520 which you can read about at 
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/hardware/smallmed/520/

Is any work being done to support this architecture right now?  I see iSeries 
listed on the debian-installers ports status page as "Unavailable", what 
would it take to make it available?

Thanks!
