Could you tell us more, please?
On <http://www.ppcnerds.org/displayarticle64.html> (found with Google),
I can read:
Debian is known to have a full working ppc64 port, isos are
downloadable from their site. The limit of usability is always in
the kernel, that at the moment does not support all the features
one would like to get from the G5 (one of the more popular
problems is the fan control, as an example). Debian is always a
good choice for its apt-get system and for the great work debian
developers do.
However, fan control is very important. I'm very interested in buying
a dual-G5, but I want a silent machine...
Is there a web page that says what is supported exactly and what isn't?
