Oh and regarding testing... qemu should help. For qemu ppc64, try -M pseries, that's fairly well maintained since it's the basis for all our new KVM based products, and there's still some (hopefully) working 32-bit mac stuff in there. With pseries, I would expect that you can install fedora, debian or ubuntu (in fact you can also install SLES11/RHEL6 I believe).
