Please excuse my ignorance, but someone said to me "nobody ever runs anything but the MacOS on a Macintosh." If this is so, then what machines do the PowerPC Debian distributions run on? Is it possible to load up the PowerPC bootable CD image in one of those colourful iMacs and install?
The software manual from IBM says it's a 32/64-bit machine. I'm thinking of buying an iMac, 333MHz PowerPC G3 machine. Is it 32 or 64-bit? Where is the documentation for PowerPC architectures, in terms of how the system boots and such? I have the software manual from IBM, but it doesn't detail anything about the BIOS or getting the machine bootstrapped. I'd like to refer to this while studying the source code for the PowerPC architecture-specific parts. Also, if you're a ppc hacker, please let me know of any useful books on ppc assembly language programming you've used.
