I have a C200 which is running Debian but I haven't tested the latest CD's yet. I am planning on burning a set of Woody CD's this weekend and reformatting / reinstalling everything. I installed mine from the 0.9.3 cd's and then just used deselect to upgrade from the network. That worked fine. I will post if I have any troubles with the new Debian CD's. Anyways, the C200 is a good performer with Debian and it can run all of the KDE stuff just fine. The Visualize-EG board is probably the best bet for X11 right now. The system feels at least as fast as an equivalent Pentium box. My config: C200 w/ PA8200 @ 200MHz, 385Mb, 4Gb, Visualize-EG. I also have a GSC Visualize-24Z which I will be adding as a secondary card - not currently supported by the kernel. Also a SCSI cdrom drive which I added. Summary: Booted / Installed with no problems using 0.9.3 cdrom. Was able to upgrade via dselect. Newer kernel provides X11 capability for Visualize-EG. Has minor glitches here and there but overall is quite usable. New Debian Woody ISO's - Currently untested. Will advise. - Doug Grant Grundler wrote:

You might look at some of the mini-ISOs offered by ESIEE which have a newer kernel. URL is on our home page, www.parisc-linux.org. But it sounds like you have a configuration that isn't supported or is really broken. For configuration issues, just remove all add-on cards. For HW issues, start by removing all but two memory DIMMs. grant
