The Debian ppc page refers to the penguinppc page regarding hardware compatibility.

I send penguinppc an email, but the message was rejected.
I hope that my findings are of any use to you.

Maybe you could write: Running, but with inofficial kernel patches ?!

Did a network install over my dsl router.

I just wonder why this machine is regarded unsupported.
--
Is it because of the kernel Patches which are regarded inofficial ?!
--
Well, still I have no X11 running, maybe thats the point.

Performa/PowerMac 5200/5300/6200/6300 family support
As of July 31, 2000, the PowerMac 5200/5300/6200/6300 family of computers, and their Performa equivalents, are officially supported in MkLinux. Please NOTE that only the 6214 has been tested, so there may be some small snags in some of the others.
CAVEATS:
* Sound is not supported yet. That's the next priority....
* SCSI is working, but rather slow. It's partially hardware at fault, and partially a lack of pseudo-DMA code. Oh well. It "mostly works." As always, your mileage may vary.
* Serial is untested. It should work, but again, YMMV.
You can download the kernel from ftp://ftp.mklinux.org/pub/kernels/wip/Mach_Kernel.PERFORMA.gz The README file is here, in the same directory.
