If anybody will write driver for a1200 mediator/voodoo3 - i think it will be fast. (maybe driver was writed for present time?)

The only ones being able to write the drivers are Elbox. The last notes I could find about drivers being written for Linux are from 2002. If you want linux support, write to Elbox.

But as i know debian not supported amiga now

Debian supports Amiga.

However, Debian cannot support hardware that has no drivers, for example Mediator.

But for now I was thinking of trying linux on the A4000T which has a cyberstorm (68040 on 40Mhz) and the picasso2 and 80 Mb on board.)
Surely this is powerful enough to try linux?

Yes. Linux runs on it for sure, but don't expect ultrafast experience with X.

But what to install? Debian version number?

Debian stable (woody) is a good start.

Stable has the most complete installation manual. Later I'd recommend you upgrade to Debian testing (sarge) (it's just matter of changing apt sources.list lines and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade).

It's also possible to install sarge directly, but this is less documented.

Does it contain the picasso driver?

Yes. Linux (the kernel) includes cirrusfb driver:

Chip families supported:
        SD64
        Piccolo
        Picasso
        Spectrum
        Alpine (GD-543x/4x)
        Picasso4 (GD-5446)
        GD-5480
        Laguna (GD-546x)
 
Bus's supported:

        Zorro
 
Architectures supported:
        i386
        Alpha
        PPC (Motorola Powerstack)
        m68k (Amiga)

Also, Debian 3.0 (woody) for m68k -page could prove useful (yeah, kas1e posted this link already).
