There are five PPC subarchitectures of Linux:

        * CHRP-compliant PowerPC machines
        * PCI-based Power Macs
        * PReP-compliant PowerPC machines
        * Amigas with PowerPC upgrade cards
        * 8xx embedded systems PowerPCs

Unfortunately, non-PowerMac PowerPC hardware is either nearly impossible to
find  (in the US at least) or expensive. SMP PowerMacs are also expensive.

In any case, Linux doesn't support SMP on a very wide range of PowerPC
hardware.
