	kernel to run Debian on Raspberry Pi?

	Also, there're no public specifications for the GPU used by that
	platform (VideoCore IV GPU, as part of the Broadcom BCM2835 SoC,
	AIUI.)  Does that mean that the kernel and (or) X require
	non-free drivers or firmware to operate the display?

I did it, and:
The downloaded img is complete and this is a "special" distrib for 
Raspberry.
My display work perfectly using a HDMI <=> DVI cable of cause on a DVI 
capable display.
Normal (usb) keyborad and mouse.

It work very well, but of cause it's sloooow
For remote connections you need to start sshd.
BTW: on another SD I have installed Fedora 14c Remix and here again that 
work but slowww, and of cause the usual bugs from Fedora.
