Wow, that's quite a statement. Some aspects of Debian are harder (installation, poor
documentation for PPC, some of the specific package bugs we've discussed). Others
are easier (most notably package management, but there are many others). All-in-all,
because it doesn't come preinstalled on any PPC machines, I can't say I disagree with
your assessment of its suitability for newbies.
