Hello, Just wanted to inform you, not sure if this is of some interest, but i also do propose, in informal partnership with IBM france, paying debian support on Power hardware. This is done on a trouble ticket scheme, and will also include a biarch/multiarch setup for debian/etch once it is released, and will found my work on the debian/powerpc/64bit front. So, well, i am not sure if you are interested in this, and i have some doubts given that most people who chose debian chose it because of the good support and because they can fix some issues themselves too, so even if you are not interested in this, i would like to have some feedback as for the reasons of it.
