Heaven!
THANK YOU ALL, DEBIAN/GNU/LINUX DEVELOPERS OF THE WORLD!!!
I won't be able to find the right words to express that. I'm a new
Debian PowerPC home user. I installed 2.2r4 on a PowerMac 8500/180MP and
everything is just working great! I've got some UNIX user experience,
but have never administrated a system. I'm just amazed that everything
works so smoothly. Apache, SSH, DNS and other services were installed,
and just worked right out of the box, no big config issues, no reboot.
Today I did my first kernel compile to enable SMP, replaced the kernel
on the HFS partition, rebooted, and there you go:
chris@debian:~$ more /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0

motherboard : AAPL,8500 MacRISC
L2 cache : 256K unified

The only thing I could not yet figure out is how to change the screen
resolution on my AppleVision 17" monitor. My XF86Config files looks OK,
but fbset seems to know only about "640x480-66". If I can't fix that on
my own, I guess I'll drop a note here to get some help.
Cheers
Christian
