I updated the FAQ last year which answers this question:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2000-November/009988.html

Note: The FAQ now lives at http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/index.html

No.

(why use a version with know bugs when a less buggy vers is avail free?)
But read the FAQ and think about it carefully first.
