I'm a club member!! :^) I must admit though, I haven't been there for a while, and if I need packages for PPC I tend to build them myself where I can... for example, I wouldn't take on trying to build the latest mozilla 1.1 :^) I also have to be careful not to download too much because I tie up the modem line... and pay through the nose for it! :^)
I'll head over to the club and put my votes in for PPC! I'd like to see another PPC release for my powerbook too. I can't download the likes of KDE3, Gnome2 or OpenOffice because of my connection... so a new release if more or less the only way I can upgrade. I can only assume it's quieter on this list because there is no new release pending, there seemed quite a bit more traffic existed when 8.2 was due to be released. OSX is nice, but it just can't compete with Mandrake on my G3 powerbook.
