Philip,
You might want to try the latest Kanotix AMD64-version distro. It's a
live CD that easily can be installed as a full Debian-based system
(using Debian SID repositories). I've been using the 32-bit version
for over a month and really like it (coming from Fedora and Ubuntu
previously).
www.kanotix.com
Running from the live CD, You can create a union-image file on your
hardrive (or a USB stick) and re-boot with the union-rw
(http://wiki.kanotix.net/CoMa.php?CoMa=Union_File_system) cheatcode
which would enable you to install things using apt-get if you need to.
This should allow you to experiment quite a bit with getting your
hardware set up to find out if it is possible. Then if you like, just
install it somewhere and repeat any of the setup steps.
I hope that helps! Good luck.
