Hi Gabriele,
Yes, yesterday I installed it in my 6000. Just to try and to make some comparation with Xqt+Debian.
Don't lose your time. It is something that can be interesting in some future but it is too soon.
I was able to launch a nice kind-of-desktop using some ???box. But that was all. Only one application running, gvim, and impossible to launch any term. So, nothing to do.
Also, the pointer doesn't work at the begining and you need to employ some time in discovering how to adjust it....
As you say, there is practically no information available, so everything should be done by one self.
When I went to bed, I was more than happy with my new immediate installation of Xqt+debian.  :-}
