If there is serious interest from Debian, I can investigate whether IBM
would be willing to donate POWER3 and/or POWER4 (Regatta) systems to Debian
developers. I have a few 64bit systems myself that I would be willing to
part with. Obtaining permission from management will be the hard part.
Let me know if there is any interest.
