F.Y.I. an update on Xombrero. It appears that a it should build on PPC if there is someone with a PPC machine capable of building (and know how to !).

It has been asked for, so I did > promise to at least ask :) Sorry for not giving you more news on this before. So, the current status is that xombrero has been rejected because there were a couple of licensing issues that I still have to clarify. (xombrero is a nightmare regarding licensing... there's a huge mix of different licenses). As usual, I didn't have too much free time to handle these issues, but I didn't gave up getting xombrero into Debian repositories. Regarding the powerpc version, what are exactly the issues you're having? I didn't tried it, but I would expect it to compile cleanly in this architecture.
