Debian Mac hardware support

I've been using PowerPC on an old Mac 7200/90 with reasonably good results. However I'm thinking of moving our intranet server to a g4 Cube, and at the same time moving to Debian. Does Debian support new Apple hardware? What booting system would be used for a G4 Cube? Finally, does anyone
