I have documented my experience in getting Debian to work on various hardware platforms. Generic information about Debian can be found on the project's official web page and there is also a good installation manual. The HOWTOs I currently provide are about the following hardware platforms:

• Devices based on Marvell's Orion platform (such as QNAP TS-109, TS-209 and TS-409, and HP mv2120).
• Devices based on Marvell's Kirkwood platform (such as SheevaPlug and QNAP TS-219).
• Linksys NSLU2 (Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives)
• Using the Qstarz BT-Q1000X GPS on Debian.
• HP Compaq 2510p notebook.
• Intel IOP based devices, such as the Thecus N2100.
• MIPS based Cobalt machines (RaQ, Qube2, RaQ2, Gateway Microserver).
• SGI O2 with R5000, R5200 or RM7000 processors.
• BCM91250A, a MIPS based evaluation board from Broadcom.
• HP Compaq nc4000 notebook.
