I have done so. Debian woody is running on my 560 (just the normal
model) right now, and I used to own a 560x that I installed slackware
4.0 on back in the day, so while I can't do a writeup on the 560x, shoot
me some questions and I can answer them, since as any slackware user
knows, at least with the older versions, you really need to know your
hardware to use it :-)
