It seems that YD is somewhat maintained, at least for embedded ppc
systems (great for routers). De facto you might (will?) end up having
to compile Debian yourself. Dunno about Mdk, SuSE has by the looks of
it discontinued their ppc version (but have a 64 bit version for
effectively naught now). The last ppc one available is I think 7.3.
SuSE 7.3 was a superb release, but a little dated now (2.5y I think).
If there's a downloadable version, check ftp.suse.com or their mirror
page. Drfloppy used to sell this version. Not sure whether YD is free,
you may have to tell Mac owners that they'll have to caugh up some
cash. (Es war schon immer etwas teurer, einen besonderen Geschmack zu
haben... ;))) ) The main question you want to ask is whether any ppc
version is as good as the vendor's x86 version (there are several
factors why this need not be the case).
