I've got debian sarge running a 4400. I also use the Quik bootloader so I don't even need a MacOS partition (well, I used BootX and an external SCSI drive to get it installed, but after that I used Quik). If you choose to install debian sarge and want to use Quik instead of BootX, I've found it's best to install the 2.4 kernel and build your own 2.6 kernal, as the kernel that ships with sarge doesn't seem to work right with quik (it uses initrd which Quik doesn't seem to support, so it constantly kernel panics).
