I don't understand how those forums can be so, so, um, unhelpful. They are Linux forums, why can't they just play nice.


I have a question guys. Does Debian play nice on powerpc ?

I am going to say what everyone is thinking. Canonical is becoming another Microsoft. It is that simple.

In all honesty, the last time I ran Debian was around a year ago. I like it, but prefer other systems. I started off with Debian around 6 years ago. Moved to Ubuntu a few years later. Found Ultimate Edition. LOVED IT. The site went down for a while and I switched to Oz Unity. LOVE IT TOO. Lately I have preferring systems that provide challenges. Mainly Arch. Just like Debian you start off with a base but yet it still tries to automate things more then I like. Fedora had gotten on my nerves recently, not working right on my dual screen desktop. I guess I just like systems that I can build my self.

Is that odd?

Nope.
I too like challenges. After installing Arch, you do get a good night sleep.

Kool. I wasn't sure if it was suspended. I have a powermac G4 sitting in the closet. I might try Debian on it. Or maybe Arch, not sure yet. It has OS 9 and X...
