Models known to have no support whatsoever can be listed > statically (like that one infamous 6xxx Powermac supported by neither > MkLinux nor Linux). one thing to keep in mind is woody will ship with a specific kernel (probably 2.2.19 or 2.2.20) and will not ever upgrade that kernel once woody is stable. so when the current kernel that supports some new mac is 4.4.12 debian woody will still be using 2.2.19 which won't support the new machine. no new kernel will be available until the next stable release after woody, in 2043. so from that perpective a static text that goes with the static kernel debian's stable boot-floppies release uses might be a good thing. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
