How about PA-RISC? I happen to have some superdomes kicking about but
they require truely a ton of power to operate.
I assume hppa people in Debian (debian-hppa@l.d.o in CC) would
appreciate testing on such gear. Not sure if those superdomes will work
out of the box though. I know from my own testing that the following
"smaller" machines work with Debian GNU/Linux Sid for hppa:
* 712/80
* c3700, c3750, J5600, rp2470
* c8000, rp3440
Apart from the rp3440 - and maybe also the 712/80 which showed some
issue with it's built-in NIC after netbooting the Linux kernel and the
OS - all machines also work diskless, which could speed up testing for
you and avoid a manual Debian installation - although this could still
be interesting.
Cheers,
Frank
