Recent traffic on this list has discussed Debian on PowerPC and big-endian vs little-endian. The next-generation US national laboratory facilities are to be based on PowerPC, and one source that I read mentioned little-endian, likely for binary file compatibility with files produced on Intel x86 and x86-64 CPUs: see CORAL/Sierra https://asc.llnl.gov/coral-info The size, and budget, for such facilities suggests that there may be financial support for Linux operating-system work on them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
