The best Linux experience with ppc is (IMO) gained by using the testing distribution. You have get to sample all the new stuff including kernels and most of the time it works just as well (if not better) than the stable versions. Unfortunately it is more or less dependent on you having a broadband connection or a good friend who can build you some cd's on a regular basis, since the testing distro is subject to frequent changes.
www.ppckernel.org has a variety of builds which you might like to look at. david On Wed, 2004-09-15 at 10:29, joe udder wrote: > Hello. > > I've just managed to install debian ppc on a powermac g4 (stable). indeed an > interesting experience. > I would like however to upgrade to a more recent kernel on my machine, like > 2.4.27, but searching the archives of this list gives me nothing to work > with really.. > I assume that the process is a little more complex than just download from > kernel.org and "make oldconfig". :) > > My question is if anyone else has done this and can give some hints or > pointers on the process? > > Thanks. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
