Sure, I've got it running on my IIci. I have to say, right now it's a
pain. Realistically, the only way to install all those debian packages is
manually, using `dpkg -i', which at 25Mhz is *slow*. Add to that the
tendency to freeze (though I haven't tried the latest kernels, I'll
admit), and I'm starting to consider moving to MacBSD. Maybe I'd be able
to tolerate all that unpacking on my 200Mhz PowerPC, but the debian distro
is an order of magnitude larger than RedHat's. Let me know if your
experience is different.
