As related to powerpc, 2.4 handles the hardware better, particularly
newer hardware such as iBooks and G4s. There is better support for
sound, AirPort, and so on. On my OldWorld, I no longer have to disable
the video with video=ofonly.
As for other stuff, I know the firewall code has been improved, but ask
on debian-user or another specific list on-topic for that such as, hmmm,
(/me browses lists.debian.org) how about debian-firewall?
