I installed Debian 8.4.0 PowerPC onto an iMac G5. When I tried using Debian, I
only saw a command-line interface. startx didn't start the GUI. I did see an
error message when I tried using startx, but it went away too quickly for me to
read. This is the name of the install cd I used:
debian-8.4

Yes. I tried installing it on my iMac G5 and it would not install. It is
probably made for IBM Power workstations and RS6000

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 and it has problems. Debian disappointedly booted to a
command prompt after installing it. Startx also failed to load the GUI. This
news about making a kernel that supports 4k pages might be a solution. I don't
have Debian anymore so I can't try it.
