I just installed Debian etch i386 on one of these and it works perfectly, this also brings you kernel 2.6.15 along with udev so no need for spiffy tricks in order to compile kernels never than 2.6.12 - etch (testing) seams to be very stable and performs great (at least when running apps such as Apache, php, mysql...). -- Lars Roland
