you're right. Debian is the non x86 standard, but actually yes, yellow ppc is the ppc standard. I never tried it. Is it good? I know their installation is modular and their installation system is similar from drakX (write once, run in newt-gtk), but less powerfull (the gentoo installer guys wanted to use it, but it's not that good). -- dams
