I noticed every time I do a shut down from Debian PPC stable/Jessie, it
doesn't fully shut down. I see its screen go black and stuff. I can't
even wake it up with keys (can't even ctrl+alt+F1 keys), trackpad and
its button, and power button. Holding its power button for five seconds
fully shuts

Server? Workstation? Old school text stuff? Just curious. I am trying to

In my couple days old Debian Jessie/stable PowerPC on a very old 2002
15" Titanium PowerBook G4 with 512 MB of RAM, it came with Firefox v45.7
ESR but it is very slow and uses too much memories.
I wonder if there are faster Gecko-based web browsers. If they do exist,

Hello.
Now, I have Debian PowerPC installed, updated, and running on the very
old 2002 15" PowerBook G4. I noticed after closing (Apple's glowing logo

screen
