I am using Debian on powerpc for ipmasq and mail services, it works

nope, unfortunatly it will not run on that machine, the x100 series
powermacs are NuBus based for which there is no linux support.
(except mklinux, but 1) its not debian, 2) its RPM based (yuk!) 3) it
uses a weird bastardization of the linux kernel)

the quadras are 68K machines IIRC might look into debian-m68k
