Yes LinuxPPC is a RedHat distribution but it does have all the correct USB stuff working. I am sure by the time potato is released that should all be taken care of. -Original Message- From: Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 1999 2:21 PM To: Lucio Rossi Cc: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Subject:Re: Can Debian run in IMacs?

RE: Can Debian run in IMacs?
Well there is a distribution of linux for PPC macintoshes. You can find more info on it at http://www.linuxppc.org They have a specific IMac installation section. Good Luck.

RE: Can Debian run in IMacs?
No chance. The Imac is a PPC based distro, which won't be available from Debian as a stable release until potato is stable, or so say the plans @www.debian.org.
