Please keep in mind that debian-powerpc is in sid, i.e. it's not even polished enough for unstable! With that in mind, let me say that I have two powermacs running debian 24/7, and it seems quite solid to me thus far (great work, everyone!). While I'm pretty sure (after a lot of research and help from the lists) that it's possible to install and maintain an oldworld mac without macos under debian, it's still very difficult. I recommend that you keep a mac partition with bootx on it while you investigate the situation for yourself. Good luck, cbb
