That's exactly why we tried for days to get Debian
working on this system. I love Debian and if someone
could get it to work on this beast I would have been
thrilled. But the only two local Linux geeks (both of
whom love Debian) tried for days and repeatedly failed
(usually at the video card issue)
I would happily pay someone to make Debian run on this
animal if I could find someone who could do it.
