There are two Debian lists: debian-user and debian-powerpc. debian-user is a great place to ask generic questions, no matter how new or advanced you are. debian-powerpc is for powerpc specific questions, questions that don't really belong on -user. If someone bites your head off for asking a simple question, bite back. Most of the people on the lists won't put up with jerks. Debian itself doesn't really allow such things: A few of the things in the Debian social contract is "Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software" and "We will place their interests first in our priorities." In additon to the lists, there is an IRC channel on irc.debian.org (join #debian and #debianppc). New users are always welcome, that's how growth happens...
