I've been looking at running Debian lenny or squeeze on my Bubba Two. Below are some notes on how I've gone about it. Seems to work OK for me, although I haven't been running like this for very long. Maybe the notes will be useful to someone else and maybe someone can point out where I've done something wrong (e.g. by not keeping some essential Excito package).
Cheers,
Ian
P.S. The notes are also at http://pastebin.com/iVs997ks in case they're easier to read with some syntax highlighting.

# Running lenny or squeeze on a Bubba Two
# =======================================
# These are just my notes - some details are specific to me
# For example, my router always assigns the LAN port to 192.168.0.140 and the WAN port to 192.168.0.141
# Plus I'm based in the UK, so I'm using a UK Debian mirror and some UK packages like wbritish
# Do standard installation according to http://download.excito.net/web/BubbaTwo/UM-ENG/install.html using recovery image from http://update.excito.net/install/bubba-two/image-1.2/b2-install-1.2.zip (i.e. not the latest)
# Summary: Unzip recovery image to USB key; shut down Bubba; remove power; insert USB key; connect WAN port to router; hold power button; plug in power; wait 5 seconds before releasing power button; wait until LED stops flashing
# Power down; remove USB key; connect LAN port to router; power up
# Go to 192.168.0.140/admin/ and login as username admin with password admin
# Choose timezone
# Add user with username temp who can login via SSH
# Leave network profile as server mode only
# SSH to Bubba
ssh temp@192.168.0.140
# su to root (password excito)
su -
# Remove packages (accepting default answers to package configuration questions, except for configuring mysql-server-5.0, where all databases should be removed)

is that we have tried to keep an powerpc repo somewhat up to date with the b3 repository. Our goal here is to try unify the code base between B2 and B3 as much as possible.
