PowerPC Linux support to continue in Debian Ports

[mjltech]

867mhz TiBook tested. Everything installed the same as my iBook (and other installs). No real difference between this install and other working installs that I've done, with the exception of the older trackpad (so, no gestures). Performance seems on par with my 1.33ghz iBook; most likely due to the L3 cache. Full speed 360p video via mpv, with about 60% CPU utilization. The orb next to the power symbol on the dock (which is Plank) is a CPU usage meter widget that changes size and color as more and more CPU is used. In the second screenshot, you can see that it's yellow, and I'm running mpv, hardinfo, xterm, and Midori. Checking the usage before taking the screenshot, we're at about 67% with these items running. Not too shabby for an old TiBook.

Screenshots. I themed this very similar to my iBook...

I’ve been trying to do this for days on similar hardware (A1025 PBG4 867mhz) Is there any chance you could make a tutorial? A lot of us would appreciate it!

Yes, I for one would like that too, as I may try out Linux on this 1ghz Titanium and drop OS X all together.

Search this forum for the Debian Sid Wiki thread, where the installation is outlined. A lot of it is out of date, though, and Sid does have some new issues (missing dependencies, for instance) to contend with.
