Well, what do you think we have been doing ? Who do you think will add ppc64 kernels to debian, or proper compiler & glibc support ? > This must be a joke? Well, since the people with ppc64 hardware do their own stuff in their own corner, without any coordination, nor thought about future debian integration, what else is left ? This reminds me a bit of all those debian installation tutorials out there, whose energy would have been better gone in fixing the issues in the first place. Friendly, Sven Luther
