Hi everybody,
I think it could be a good idea to develop a branch of DSL for the PowerPC platform.
I know it would be a very demanding task, but I guess that the new strategy of Apple (I mean the marriage with Intel processors) will let behind a lot of PowerPC machines (for educational, etc.), which could be usefully rejuvenated by light and fast OS. Of course, one can use Debian for this goal, but if one needs something more handy, one can use just Ubuntu (in the "Debian derivatives" category) which is extremely slow on not so old machines (I've made some tests).
Therefore, I guess it will be "a part of the market" on PPC platforms which will be free for projects similar to DSL.
Perhaps, DSL could be take advantage by the Niktaris project, which aims to do a Knoppix-like OS for PPC, please see

Well, it's just an idea....
Many thanks for all your work,
ciao,
