I run all sorts of PowerPC machines with various versions of Debian and I
don't see that coming to end anytime soon.  These are excellent and
reliable machines.  Biggest issues/hurdles are just graphics at the moment
for both ATI/AMD and Nvidia cards, but even if that is never resolved/fixed
or performance dwindles to nothing, I will continue to use these machines
in text/console only mode if I have to.  Please do not drop this
architecture!
