It'd be nice to get my 710 actually doing something useful :&) I've got a 710 up & running with the 0.93 iso without major problems. The 710 doesn't have a CDROM, so I booted the included lifimage via rbootd from a PC running Debian Potato (rbootd is included as package). The only minor problem was NFS-mounting the installation CD. The Debian installer tries a V3 mount without running a portmapper, thus hanging for lockd/statd until timeout, which is really long. So I did the mount by hand using the "nolock" option and told the installer to use an already mounted partition. You have to upgrade the kernel after installation to get a usable (dumb) framebuffer if you want to give XFree a try. There is no HIL mouse support in the CVS kernel yet.
