I have an 8595 and a 9595, both of which have ran Debian.
The 9595 ended up dying (no fault of Debian) and the 8595
will again be running Linux as soon as I can get a transceiver
for it's NIC. Everything worked great right out of the box.
The installation found the SCSI card and all five SCSI drives
the first time, with no help from me.
YMMV, but I don't think you'll have any problems with it.
