Ive run Debian on pretty much everything from a p690 down to a B80.
These days the only big issue is the kernel. I tend to tack a debian
install root image onto a ppc64 kernel and tftp boot it. Unfortunately
it whinges a bit (kernel version doesnt match the root image etc) but
you can force it on.
Im looking forwards to the new install system so I can build proper
ppc64 install CDs. I tried to do it with the current boot floppies but
got incredibly lost.
