I've been running Debian quite happily on my Deskpro XL at work for a few months now. All I had to do was download the kernel patch available from a URL given in that HOWTO, apply it to a copy of the source I had on a friend's machine, make a kernel, mount the rescue disk, copy the new kernel over the old one, and run rdev.sh on the floppy. And everything worked like a charm. :) -- Brought to you by the letters P and E and the number 11.
