| 02:26.04 | brain_in_vat | hi, I have an old g4 mac mini. Panther is a bit annoying to use and would like to switch to linux. Just wondering how up to date debianppc is? I don't want to spend an hour setting up debianppc only to find that it's old, has bad package support, and will be discontinued (like ubuntu ppc was) |

| 05:06.06 | pahartik | brain_in_vat: I use both, Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu Linux on PowerPC... They are well up-to-date |
| 05:10.10 | pahartik | brain_in_vat: For each package, I select version manually on aptitude... And honor dependencies accordingly... Package sources for "stable", "testing", "unstable" and "experimental" have been defined on "/etc/apt/sources.list" |
| 05:16.04 | pahartik | brain_in_vat: Same thing with Ubuntu Linux, except that PowerPC packages are in ubuntu-ports archive (or something like that), for recent releases |
| 05:24.33 | brain_in_vat | pahartik: the ubuntu ppc distro was discontinued tho |
| 05:24.51 | brain_in_vat | anyway, I think I might try debian ppc |
| 05:29.22 | pahartik | brain_in_vat: Packages at "http://ports.ubuntu.com/" are not officially supported, but they are from same sources as latest packages for officially supported architectures (AFAIK)... For example, I see daily updates and new packages for Ubuntu "intrepid" |
| 05:32.13 | pahartik | brain_in_vat: Anyway, point is that for PowerPC, both distributions are as up-to-date as one dares to keep them |
| 05:35.31 | brain_in_vat | nods |
| 05:35.32 | brain_in_vat | thanks |
