 Is it as simple as appending something like desktop=xfce to the boot
 command line?

Actually yes, that should work;  the install media for GNU/Hurd and
kFreeBSD are doing exactly this.

dropping the spu/cell cross compilers for jessie

2013-02-27 Thread Matthias Klose
For jessie, I'll stop building the spu/cell cross compilers out of the binutils
and gcc-4.x source packages.  Now that we can build cross toolchains using the
binary {binutils,gcc-4-x}-source packages, people could build the spu toolchain
like it's done for mingw or other targets.

G5 towers

2013-02-27 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
hey debian powerpc folks--

I have the opportunity to get my hands on several Apple G5 towers.  If
they are not claimed shortly, they will be thrown away.  I can probably
only make use of one of them as spare parts for an existing G5 tower
that i run debian on.  I would like to give them away to a good home.

Are these things that would be useful to anyone on this list?  Can i do
anything to facilitate their use for debian or related free software
projects?

I am in New York City, USA (the G5s are too).

Please contact me directly (i don't think i'm subscribed to
debian-powerpc at the moment) if you are interested.
