hp hasn't released any docs for these ancient pieces of metal which
are pretty much the only way to get decent graphics on your j6700.
no docs = no drivers.
using unsupported graphics cards is pretty hit or miss. see the
graphics faq on www.parisc-linux.org.
debian on hppa is pretty much the same as debian on any other platform. you
will likely need to use a serial console to install it because of the
graphics. see the installation manual on www.debian.org.
