Maybe I did not not correctly explain myself, but I meant a list corresponding to the debian releases (potato, woody, future releases) in the first place, sitting on the debian ports page, although it would also be nice to have a complete overview over models an supported distros (with which I do not only mean debian), which of course should be hosted by penguinppc as a distro independent area. But maintaining a distro overview list may be a bigger work, because there have to come together a lot of people who have testet this and this and this distro on this and this and this ppc hardware. -- Best regards, Andi
