Debian does run on Amigas running under Linux/APUS. I think Jesper
Skov's Doc'n'FAQ includes information about what you need to get
potato (2.2) for PPC running on an Amiga. It will run OK with either
the AGA chipset or on a Cybervision PPC.
Debian itself is fairly stable... the stability problems are normally
due to the Linux/APUS kernel not being 100% (and at least some of that
is due to the 2.3 kernels it's based on being highly flaky as well).
