Faheem- Since I know you're at UNC, I'll just tell you that I've recently completed installing debian 2.2r3, over the net, on a CCI machine, which is an IBM NetVista A40 with a PIII-1Ghz chip in it. Things have gone pretty well, except that the built-in audio chip doesn't seem to be supported, so I put a cheap old one in to play music in the office. Otherwise, went without a hitch.
