I am very interested in 32-bit openSUSE for my PowerBook G4 (BE). I am currently 
running Mint on it, and I would prefer to have a distro that could build and 
install a new kernel using methods that are a lot simpler than are required for 
a Debian-based system.

What would be required for me to work on the 32-bit port?

Thanks,

Larry
