Are there any PowerPC ports compatible with Debian?
There are four major supported powerpc flavors: PMac (Power-Macintosh), Apus, CHRP and PReP machines. Ports to other powerpc architectures, such as the Be-Box and MBX architecture, are underway but not yet supported by Debian. We may have a 64bit port in the future.
Can you use Debian on a Power Macintosh?
The monolithic Linux/PPC kernel architecture does not have support for these machines; instead, one must use the MkLinux Mach microkernel, which Debian does not yet support. These include the 6100/7100/8100 line of Power Macintoshes. OldWorld systems are most Power Macintoshes with a floppy drive and a PCI bus.
