OpenSSI 1.9.1 works on Debian Sarge (aka oldstable at the moment).

The doc is wrong/out of date.

1.9.3 will be up to date with current Sarge (installing 1.9.1 on Sarge
downgrades a few packages, but it's not serious).

To go beyond Sarge we need a new OpenSSI kernel, based on linux 2.6.15
at the oldest.  Currently OpenSSI has 2.6.10, Roger Tsang is working on
having 2.6.11 ready for OpenSSI 1.9.3.
