In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In
practice, there is.

Hi Helge et al,
I have tried this Debian 8.0 installation on a spare HD in my C3700. The
installer is painless & "runs like a Swiss watch". I had no trouble
installing a KDE desktop environment and booting it. The software
repository and the packages downloaded gave no trouble at all. The base OS
has been rock solid. I have installed boinc/seti@home and that has had the
box at 100% CPU load all night without trouble. Some packages have been a
bit slow/clunky but given the age of the C3700 that is no surprise.
The only package to consistently crash was "system settings" any time I
tried to change display settings. The base OS has not crashed AT ALL.
Cheers, Geoff.

I'd like to say thank you as well. I've been intending to test debian
on a J6700 I rescued, and I got to booting it after seeing this
announcement.
Only the drives in the machine have an HP-UX installation I'd like to
preserve for now and I haven't been able to dig out my spares yet.
I'll see if I can get around to trying the install later.

J6700 works pretty fine.

FYI, you could even e.g. add a SATA PCI card and attach SATA drives if you like.
The only important thing is, that the bootloader (PALO) and the /boot partition needs to be on a (small) SCSI disc.
