old OpenServers able to use Debian?

["IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR" <stuart.tener@bh90210.net>]

Listmembers,

I have some P710 or P720 (they are 4U rack mount) OpenServers from a  
number of years ago that I believe are Power5. Is there a current (or  
older) version of Debian that works for them?

If there is no current Debian version for them, then presuming I  
install an older version is there a script that will allow me to do an  
upgrade of packages via a source build of current sources or are there  
issues to do this?

Thanks in advance.



Very Respectfully,
