Well a number of those embedded systems are in fact using Debian powerpc. They do care. The powermacs on the other hand I would think are hardly used anymore. But that may just be my impression because I never cared about them in the first place. They weren't relevant to me. :) I would not be surprised if there are more embedded freescale based powerpc systems running debian out there than powermacs, but maybe I am under estimating how many powermac users are still out there running debian. -- Len Sorensen
