Your ppc64 autobuild is fantastic. I need to install. I admin Debian
elsewhere, but am lost on ppc64 status. I'd like an install CD/DVD ;
but if you can explain the quickest route, the reqmts are
2.6.22.10 kernel or above
'unstable' apt-pinning/apt-sources for 64-bit userspace
64-bit Gnumeric
if possible: 64-bit OpenOffice (or, can 32-bit OOo run in 64-bit
userspace?)
*Very* up-to-date bluetooth, windfarm, firewire, sleep mode
Official Debian offers no auto-built ppc64 installer discs, right? I
found year-old stuff in odd places, older kernels. I may have to build
a kernel but please advise the best starting point to install.
While I'm asking, can you point me to gnomish themes to imitate OS X
looknfeel? Don't care what window manager really.
Also, does Xorg on iMac give accelerated OpenGL graphics?
