I had an 8100/80 running woody - my first Debian/Linux install - and
used it as a server up until a year ago.  I offered it on this list but
there were no takers so I gave it to a local school.  I could check if
they're using it if you really want it?  I'm in London but if we can
work out a way of getting it to you, you'd be welcome to it :)

I've also got two G4s (dual 450MHz) running sarge as servers; they're
rock solid and don't require much maintenance.  I've had a huge amount
of help from this list and hope that the powerpc arch continues to be
well supported but more recently have spent a lot more time playing with
amd64.  Nevertheless, if I can help in some way I will.  That said I'm a
user rather than a developer/maintainer.

Regards

Clive
