what's the beta build status for the powerpc port?
(and if it's possible, deb packages for powerpc as well?)

Re: Newbie version questions

[Robin]

hmm.
debian runs on just about anything, you should probably check all the 
distribution websites for miscelaneous hardware compatability...
about X11/XFree86, if you're worried about speed and such, KDE runs 
crisp and fast on a g3/400 with 384MB ram and XFree86 4.1.  If you're 
really concerned with space and what not, and don't require a desktop 
file browser (like what KDE and GNOME have), wmaker would be a good choice.
for all intent and testing purposes, JDK 1.3 is fine, it's what I use. 
 (mostly due to the fact that it works and I have no other options)
and the JDK1.1 is not a really good choice, in my opinion.  it's 
noticable slower, thus why the "java is slow" myth got started.
