Thanks for the tip.  Did you have to do anything special when
installing Debian 5 to get it to run on the Wallstreet or did it just
work?

WiFi (via a Lucent WaveLan Silver card) works on the Wallstreet under
YDL 3 so I suspect it would under Debian as well.

P.S. I see at http://penguinppc.org/about/distributions.php that
Debian, along with openSUSE and (Japanese) Vine Linux, is one of the
few distros that still support Old World Macs.
