R10000 / R5000 and Debian

[Robin Haunschild <H@unschild.de>]

Hello,

I have the opportunity to buy a SGI R10000 or R5000 (model O2) very cheap.  
Now they are running under Irix. I would prefer to run Debian Linux. ;))

I found on the Debian-Website that there are known problems for these models:

Bekannte Probleme
[...]
O2 R10000 is NOT supported
O2 R5000 - EXPERIMENTAL without framebuffer
[...]

Does anyone have experiences with these machines and knows, if these problems 
were solved, or do they still exist?
Is it possible to run Sarge?


Greetings

Robin
